Hello there 👋
I'm Bruce Bekkar, a women's health doctor, climate activist, and international keynote speaker.
I've given more than 100 invited presentations to audiences from national medical societies to local non-profits, from corporate "green teams" to Harvard Medical School, from City Councils to members of the US House of Representatives. I like talking about the possibilities as well as the perils of our climate problem- and there are many. Let's connect and discuss how I can help your organization succeed in a climate-safe world.
