Global Action Plan delivered a project for communities in rural areas of County Dublin.
Funded by Dublin Rural LEADER, our “Community Based Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Training for Rural Dublin” programme was delivered in partnership with the Rediscovery Center, the Community Resource Network Ireland, The Sustainable Energy Community (SEC) network and FH Wetlands Systems Ltd.
Unlocking the Power of Positive Action
In a world where fear and doom loom large over many climate change discussions, our project aims to break down barriers and inspire positive change. We believe that every individual and community has the potential to be an agent of environmental progress. By encouraging pro-environmental values and fostering environmental education, we empower rural Dublin to embrace sustainability and make a significant impact together.
A Journey Towards Resilience
We don’t lecture, and we don’t pretend to know everything. We bring people on a journey; a journey that starts where communities are on their paths towards learning and action.
Through comprehensive training – spanning themes like transport, water, biodiversity, waste, and energy – participants explored the interconnections and dependencies that form the backbone of climate action. Together, we developed tangible community action plans to foster just transitions and build climate resilience.
The programme is structured along 7 key thematic modules. Each module is designed to help participants explore key concepts and identify elements for subsequent action strategies.
Empowering Communities, Fostering Collaboration
As participants embark on this journey, we aim to bridge the “values perception gap”, by connecting like-minded individuals and communities across rural Dublin.
