Inspirational keynotes from the frontlines of climate change

Speaking

Heïdi Sevestre sharing expedition stories and the latest climate science

Inspire action

Be transported to the fastest-changing places on our planet — from the ice sheets of Antarctica to the last tropical glaciers, and leave with a clear, tangible sense of what's happening, what we can still save, and what you can do.

I'm a field scientist and explorer. I've crossed Antarctica on skis, 4,000 kilometers in 80 days, and I've spent years working on some of the most remote and rapidly disappearing glaciers on Earth. What I do on stage is bring that reality back to you.

Stunning film and photography, immersive storytelling, real stories from the field, and always the science behind them.

My talks are known to inspire and empower without ever leaving audiences in climate despair. I believe climate action starts with clarity, emotion, and hope — not fear. Audiences leave informed, moved, and ready to act.

Every presentation is custom-made, shaped around your audience, your sector, and the questions that matter to you. From keynote presentations to workshops, seminars and team-building experiences — in-person or remote — I'll craft something that lands for your people.

Some of the many subjects cover:

Why glaciers matter — to all of us
Climate change: where we really are
What we can still save
Climate solutions that work now
Real expedition stories from the field
Leadership and teamwork in extreme environments
Resilience and adaptation

I have been attending lectures at the Royal Geographical Society for thirty years. Yours this evening was the most interesting and inspiring ever — and it was a master class in engagement and delivery. Thank you so much for your fantastic and critical work.

I cannot begin to tell you how thoroughly inspiring and engaging I found your talk. While you are undoubtedly highly accomplished and skilled, I also found it tremendously reassuring that someone so obviously sincere has been able to communicate and influence change at the highest levels. It gives me hope.

Thank you for your remarkable talk — the quality and precision of your words, and the way you made them so accessible. Thank you for your optimism, despite a context that hardly invites it. I am still deeply moved. And I agree with you: let us make room for our emotions, let us learn to speak truthfully to the people of our planet, and let us educate ourselves, collectively.

Thank you again for your presentation, it was a truly powerful moment that inspired all of us. On a personal note, it gave me a deep sense of fulfilment: today I really felt that my small contribution is part of a much bigger, more meaningful mission. That evening at dinner, I told my family and my three children all about what you do, and I could see pure wonder in their eyes. Please keep pushing forward and inspiring people the way you did today. You are making a real difference.

A huge thank you for your amazing talk. I absolutely loved how you brought the whole journey to life for us — the format and the photos made it so vivid. I cannot tell you how thrilled everyone was.

I'm writing to thank you for your commitment and your work to bring science to so many people — we need it so much. I was there last night with my twelve-year-old daughter, who loved it too. Thank you for having the desire and the courage to follow a path off the beaten track, and for sharing your experience with so many people.

I would like to express my sincere thanks for the inspiring and impactful contribution you delivered. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and the level of engagement and interest was truly exceptional. You have set a very high standard — it will be very hard to match in the future. What incredible energy!
