How to choose and present your environment topic
Match the scope to your time: for a short talk, choose one focused question, location, technology, or case study. A narrow topic usually produces clearer slides than a broad subject such as "climate change." Build around a useful question, use credible current evidence from government agencies, universities, and peer-reviewed research. Balance problems with responses, make environmental data visual with charts and maps, and end with a specific takeaway your audience can consider.
