Book Seth as a Speaker

Here’s what others have to say about Seth’s public talks…

“There's a reason why we keep inviting Seth back for speaking engagements: he is consistently incisive, engaging, motivating, and a wealth of knowledge on climate change, social justice issues, and more. It's no surprise he was the top-rated speaker at our most recent conference—and it's absolutely essential that more people learn from his lifetime of wisdom and advocacy.”

– Dr. Melissa Lem, Past President, Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment

"Seth's work, particularly his 6 Markers framework, has been foundational to my organizing practice – both when I was leading 350.org's Canada team and teaching in Seneca's Government Relations program. He has a rare gift for making transformational policy ideas not just digestible but actionable, helping people understand what genuine climate emergency response actually looks like and how to push for it. His voice is exactly what we need right now to move the conversation beyond incrementalism toward real climate mobilization. "

– Amara Possian, former Canada Lead for 350.org

“Seth is an incredibly engaging speaker with a wealth of knowledge about climate policy. Students, many of whom are used to hearing grim predictions about their future, are energized and inspired by his ‘we can do this, we have done it before’ approach to mobilizing for a clean and just world. I would highly recommend him as a guest speaker in secondary and post-secondary classrooms.”

– Prof. Kyla Tienhaara, Canada Research Chair in Economy and Environment, Queens University

“I had the privilege of hosting Seth Klein to speak during our Remembrance Day service at Canadian Memorial United Church, and he was excellent. He met the moment with careful preparation, intellectual rigour, and deep attentiveness to context, bringing depth of knowledge to the climate crisis while translating complexity into language that is both accessible and compelling. If you’re looking for a speaker who does the homework, understands context, and can move people with clarity and heart, I recommend Seth without hesitation.”

– Rev. Beth Hayward

“Seth is one of Canada’s leading voices on climate justice. He is a forward thinker who is passionate about finding transformative and just solutions to the climate crisis. He is an inspiring speaker, author and leader and an effective coalition builder, skillfully uniting diverse groups to work towards a common cause. Seth is great to work with, and I highly recommend him as a speaker for any audience, especially young people, who will be motivated by his sense of hope and concrete ideas for a better world.”

– Prof. Joanna Robinson, Department of Global and Social Studies, York University

“Seth is a uniquely talented speaker: he makes complexity accessible, he offers grounded hope in the face of climate despair, and he inspires us to bold, achievable action, on our own and as a collective.”

– Kevin Millsip, Executive Director, BC Libraries Co-op

“The Denman Island Readers and Writers Festival consistently attracts a steady stream of impressive authors every July. Yet Seth Klein stood out even in this august company and contributed greatly to the success of our 2023 festival. He brought a perspective and expertise on the climate issue that was incomparable. He greatly enhanced our audiences’ understanding of the climate challenge, and of our shared and personal options / imperatives for addressing it.”

– Howard Stewart, Co-Chair, Denman Island Readers and Writers Festival

“Seth Klein's energetic and impassioned keynote was the perfect way to get Nanaimo Climate Connections 2025 attendees on their feet (literally) and ready to take action. He left us with powerful, accessible and hopeful takeaways — we hope to have Seth back to speak at a future event!”

– Kevin Lindsay, Board Chair, Nanaimo Climate Action Hub
