Climate for Change is a partnership with Change.ie the Power of One to provide free talks on climate change to all local authorities nationaly. The EPA and DoEHLG have teamed up with Gavin Harte to stage these free events.

For most of us climate change is often confusing and contradictory. For every argument on the size of the problem, its seriousness and its cause, there seems to be another voice declaring the exact opposite. Now, for the first time the world's leading scientists are united in the scientific evidence for climate change. The big question is, are the people of Ireland ready for the challenge?”.

The Department of the Environment said that "Climate change is the biggest challenge facing humanity in the 21st century and each of us has to decide how to respond. We're delighted that Gavin is taking his unique style and irrepressible optimism on the road to give people what they need to be able to understand the climate challenge better."

Climate for Change is an exciting mix of photographs, video clips, and animations which documents the enormous influence human activity is having on our planets climate, the serious impacts these are likely to have on all of us and what we need to do about it.

Below is an example of my presentation to the elected representatives of Dublin city council at their September council meeting 2011.
