Climate Conversations – Thursday 23rd June – 7pm – Online
Last year members of Clare PPN took part in facilitated conversations that helped to inform the Department of Environment Climate and Communications in developing the Government’s Climate Action Plan 2021. We have again been asked to host a workshop online where we seek your input, opinions and expertise on Climate Action and this workshop will take place next Thursday 23rd June at 7.00 pm online. The feedback and data generated through this engagement will be used by the Department to feed into the next Climate Action Plan 2022 and other sectoral policies. The workshop will be a facilitated discussion and will last between 60 and 90 minutes.
We can accommodate a maximum of twenty participants in this workshop and so if you are interested in attending and have ideas, opinions. expertise or advice for the Department on its climate strategy you are warmly invited to attend. All places should be booked in advance as soon as possible by emailing sarah@clareppn.ie and we will then send you the link for the meeting. As always, we would really appreciate you taking the time and effort to attend.
Background information:
The Climate Action Plan 2021 can be found here https://www.gov.ie/en/campaigns/2f87c-climate-action-plan-2021/ and while there is a significant amount of information to be found in the plan, information on core policy priorities can be found in the Executive Summary on pages 10 – 13.

Cornelia Wahli
Clare PPN Secretariat and staff are greatly saddened by the recent death of our member and representative Cornelia Wahli. Cornelia was a passionate, knowledgeable and dedicated environmental campaigner. Cornelia was particularly interested in minimising society’s use of disposable plastic and of supporting agriculture and the farming community in Clare to embrace organic methods.
She was an elected representative on the board of the public participation network and she sat on Clare County Council’s Local Community Development Committee. Through this and her involvement in Clare Environmental Network Cornelia gave hugely of her time and talent on a voluntary basis. She was a fantastic colleague and comrade and we’ll miss her greatly. Our sympathies to her family and loved ones.
