Dublin Climate Action Week has been officially launched in the Round Tower Visitor Centre, Clondalkin.
Now in its second year, Dublin Climate Action Week is being organised and delivered from 12-17 September by the partnership of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, South Dublin County Council, Dublin City Council, Fingal County Council, Codema – Dublin's Energy Agency and the Dublin Climate Action Regional Office (CARO).
It offers a range of online and in-person events which aim to inform citizens, increase awareness and highlight the need for urgent climate action by all sectors of society. From climate festivals to film screenings, biodiversity walks to webinars and talks on a range of interesting climate topics, there is something for everyone. Events will highlight how both systemic change and individual action is required to tackle the climate crisis.
Through the ongoing implementation of Climate Change Action Plans, the Dublin Local Authorities are collaborating closely to deliver climate action, working to reduce the impact and are committed to leading by example in tackling this global issue.
In a joint statement, the Mayors of the four Dublin Local Authorities stated: "Climate Change continues to impact the Dublin Region, but we are working together to reach our climate targets. We've organised Dublin's second Climate Action Week to showcase our ongoing progress to the people of Dublin and elsewhere. Building on the success of last year we've launched another exciting programme of events across a range of themes. You can register for these events on our Dublin Climate Action Week website. We invite you to join us again in September! Each of us has a valuable contribution to make, it counts if we are all Taking Action, Together!"
