Stephen Leahy, International Environmental Journalist

With15 years experience as an environmental journalist covering local and global issues I have given talks at conferences, symposiums, university seminars, high schools and other events in many places. I speak mainly on environmental issues — climate change, water, conservation issues, natural history — but I have also addressed the communication of complex topics, working with the media and so on.
