Gavin Harte’s presentation, ‘Climate for Change’ is cleverly put together, highly informative and superbly delivered. Gavin deals with complex science in a clear, precise manner that will be understood by all. He has the remarkable ability to deliver what is generally seen as ‘negative’ news in a way which will force people to examine their lifestyles and make the necessary changes. One does not come out of the presentation with a sense of hopelessness, but rather with an enthusiasm to make the changes and make a difference. Everyone in the country should see this presentation.
Gavin Harte makes a compelling and convincing case for urgent action with his well-researched, cleverly-crafted and professionally-delivered presentation. Climate for Change is a clear and reasoned exposé of where we are, how we got here and why we need to change. An accomplished and accessible speaker, Gavin held the attention of the room with his clear, fluid style and reasoned arguments. Guaranteed to stimulate questions and provoke discussion, this road-show is an excellent resource and an invaluable opportunity for raising awareness. All local authorities should avail of it - without hesitation.Fionnuala Meagher

Gavin’s style of presentation ensured all the audience were engaged from beginning to end.

An informed and engaging presentation that made the science accessible, and the cause for action clear. The overall effect was to inspire a positive response to the challenges. Highly recommended.
Gavin’s presentation to South Dublin County Council’s Environmental SPC was well received; it was clear, conscious and engaging. The presentation was set out so that it was easy to understand the science and challenges in relation to Climate Change. It is a presentation I would recommend to anyone who wishes to understand what is meant by Climate Change and to reinforce the concept that a combination of individual actions can make a difference.
