#NESC The range of expertise on our Session 4 panel is used to examine how people and communities can benefit from the transition away from fossil fuels, as well as what safeguards are necessary to ensure it is a just and inclusive process #Energy #Transition
Ali Sheridan of the Just Transition Commission acknowledges that we don’t have a plan in terms of how the transition is going to be fair, but emphasises that it shouldn't be a burden - it's our greatest opportunity #Energy #Transition
It was Great to contribute to the "Community Energy Transition" Panel at the NESC Event today. One of the subjects I was speaking about was the Climate CONNECTED Project (www.climateconnected.ie) it shares inspirational Climate Action stories from around the country, a dedicated Irish Climate Footprint Tool along with a series of Podcasts delivered by the four Community Decarbonisation Zones involved in the project.
Terrific panel discussion on how we can engage people in the energy transition so that it is participative and fair. Including young people in the conversation is a critical part.
Anabel O'Hora of Trinity College Dublin and the Children’s and Young People’s Assembly on Biodiversity Loss stresses the importance of inviting people into the conversation and including the student voice #Energy #Transition
