Schwarzenegger has also authored several books, including his bestselling autobiography, “Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story.” He first rose to global recognition winning the Mr. Universe title at age 20 and later as a seven-time Mr. Olympia champion.

He also founded the non-profit environmental organization Regions of Climate Action (R20), which works with the United Nations and the world’s leading NGOs to accelerate the implementation of green infrastructure within the fields of renewable energy, energy efficiency and waste optimization, among others.
Schwarzenegger remains a leading voice in politics, using his platform to raise awareness around political reform and climate change. As an environmentalist, he executive produced and starred in the Showtime documentary “Years of Living Dangerously,” which focused on the effects of global warming and won a Primetime Emmy award for “Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series.”
Additionally, he served as Chairman of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition, an organization which works to increase youth sports participation from children of all backgrounds and abilities; and founded the After-School All-Stars program, which provides free, high-quality educational programs for students.
