Jeremy Irons

The mystery voice on our climate change video is none other than Jeremy Irons. Showing his support, Mr. Irons stated:

“It’s time to recognise the devastating impact that climate change is already having on people living in poverty. We must make it clear to our leaders that they have to act now and deliver a global deal that supports developing countries in their efforts to cope and adapt. I encourage you to join Oxfam Ireland’s campaign today and together, we can send a strong and clear message that now is the time for action on climate change.”

Mayhew, about pioneering New Zealand plastic surgeon, Archibald McIndoe, who worked for the Royal Air Force during World War II.
