‘CLIMATE ACTION – WHAT CAN I DO?’

-

Several organisati­ons have joined forces to host a week of free online events from March 21st to March 26th, exploring what action we can all take to contribute to the Climate Action Plans, to create a better local and national environmen­t for the present and the future.

Europe Direct Waterford, Waterford Libraries and Waterford City and County Council’s Environmen­t

Department have come together, providing a series of free, useful events to look at what can be done to help with the Waterford and National Climate Action Plans.

A series of talks will include a ‘Live furniture up-cycling workshop’; ‘Active Travel – Are our Communitie­s ready?’; ‘The impact of climate change on coastal heritage: some examples from the Waterford coast’; ‘What can I do to help the pollinator­s?’, a wildflower workshop, as well as guidance on growing your own food.

The European Commission’s proposal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 sets Europe on a responsibl­e path to becoming climate neutral by 2050. All sectors of the economy and society can contribute, so join in to find out how we can come together to achieve this goal.

All talks are free but booking is essential. All can be booked on the Europe Direct Waterford Eventbrite page or find out more at www.waterfordl­ibraries.ie
