Description

Climate Conversations 2015 Launch Event : Communicating the Challenge

7pm Liberty Hall 18th March

This event is the first of a series of five "Climate Conversations" which aim to bring Ireland together for a new understanding of climate change. The Climate Conversations aim to promote greater understanding of what a low carbon future might bring for Ireland.

The first discussion is our launch event: Session I "Communicating the Challenge" which will take the format of a panel style discussion with room for audience participation and even art and music. Ryan Meade (Climate Gathering) will be chair for the first event and speakers on the panel will include:

  • George Marshall, author of ''Don't Even Think About It: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Ignore Climate Change'' and founder of the Climate Outreach Information Network
  • David Begg, general secretary of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions
  • Claire O'Connor, former international director for Vice President Al Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection
  • Oisín Coghlan, Friends of the Earth
  • Terry Prone, Business Woman, Media Expert, Popular Commentator and Author

The collaboration between organisations focused on economic development, labour rights and social and environmental justice is symbolic of the greater cooperation we will need to change our response to the issue. We seek to understand what cultural and social changes are needed, what costs and opportunities may arise and what economic model will best serve all our needs in making this transition.

This is why everyone needs to be in the conversation, not just the institutions supporting this initiative but every institution and every citizen with an interest in the future of this island and this planet. We want to provide a safe space where different views can be expressed and shared.

We will be inviting people to engage with and comment on the discussion online using #climateconversations.
