Irish Museum of Modern Art

A powerful keynote presentation by Jon Alexander, followed by a panel discussion on community, climate and care

What if solving the climate crisis isn’t about lone heroes, but about coming together, building trust, and finding strength in each other? Our opening talk at Earth Rising invites us to imagine a different kind of future - one built on connection, care, and shared action.The evening will open with a keynote presentation from author Jon Alexander. We live in a moment of deep crisis but also huge opportunity. If we can step into a bigger story of ourselves as citizens, not just consumers; if we can come together and commit to the places we live and love; and if we can open up our institutions, the future could yet be bright.Following John’s presentation, he will be joined for a panel discussion by<ul><li>Seán McCabe – Head of Climate Justice &amp; Sustainability, Bohemians FC</li></ul><ul><li>Aisling McCarthy – founder of AllAboutFolk</li></ul><ul><li>Easkey Britton – surfer, ecologist, and author</li></ul><ul><li>Hosted by journalist and author Aoife Barry</li></ul>Check-in will take place at the Chapel.
