In 2024 Galway City Council launched a new annual climate festival, the first of its kind organised by a local authority in Ireland. ‘Climate Inspirations-Communities in Action’ is an innovative, creative and collaborative festival which aims to change the narrative around climate action to one of positivity
The Community Climate Action Programme aims to support small and large communities to take climate action. The overall objective of the programme is to empower communities to shape and build low carbon, sustainable communities and to contribute to national climate and energy targets.
