Welcome

We appointed a new leadership group at our last hui. Our Comms Manager, Áine Byrne, has started a process of  interviewing all the members. Her latest interview is with  David Ayre, who contributed to the Climate Action Book. He's also a doting grandfather who makes creating a better world fun for his granddaughters!

How would you describe the Forum in one sentence?

A regional group of people concerned about the way our civilisation is changing our climate and taking actions to reduce those changes.

What strengths/skills do you hope to bring to the position?

I see our lives as one part of a wonderful natural world, I like working with people, I have a good background in science & IT & logical thinking & problem solving, and I don't give up easily.

What do you…
