The EMERGE Launch Webinar

EM Caro, Urban Foresight and The Wheel are excited to invite you to a webinar introducing the “Eastern and Midlands Enabling Roadmap for the Green Economy” (EMERGE) project.

This important project involves maximising the social and economic opportunities of climate action for Ireland, while consulting and supporting individual communities facing specific challenges in transitioning to a lower carbon economy.

This session will also explain the concept of making a “Just Transition” as well as outlining key trends which are impacting communities. We will preview the upcoming programme of work that the EMERGE team will be doing to help communities develop actions that will capture the emerging social and economic opportunities created by moving to a low carbon economy. Finally, there will also be an opportunity for you to ask questions about the project and understand how you can get more involved.

Who is this webinar for?

This webinar is free and available to anyone with an interest in supporting impacted communities to understand and develop their future role in developing the Irish low carbon economy through a “Just Transition” approach.
