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.
Welcome to the official information page for the WATERWAY Project, hosted by Galway City Council. This page provides key details about the European Urban Initiative (EUI) Innovative Actions (IA) project, "Water And Tourism Energy Resources for a Winning Active Galway" (WATERWAY)
Galway City Council's award-winning Climate Inspirations Festival has been hailed a major success following five days of talks, music, workshops, exhibitions, and community events across Galway City.
Galway City Council is inviting residents to a new series of Energy Efficiency Evenings taking place across the city throughout 2026. These free, community-focused events will give residents the opportunity to learn more about improving home energy performance, reducing energy bills, and discovering practical retrofit options.
Former President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins, will join us at this year’s Galway Climate Inspirations Festival in a special public conversation exploring the intersection of climate action, culture, creativity and hope.
