Take part in the ‘Change’ Climate Justice Eco Week

ECO-UNESCO is inviting young people from across Ireland to join Eco Week, a series of free online events that explore the topic of climate justice. All the events and activities are designed to give young people the knowledge and the skills they need to feel empowered to stand up, be heard, and create change.

This event is part of the Youth Climate Justice Challenge, which gives young people in Ireland the opportunity to develop a climate justice project, taking local action within their communities. Young people across Ireland have been working on their climate justice projects over the last number of months, and will share what they’ve been doing to take action in their local community at the showcase event at the end of the Eco Week.

The Youth Climate Justice Challenge is delivered by ECO-UNESCO in partnership with SpunOut.ie, The Girls’ Brigade, Irish Girl Guides, The No Name Club, and Young Irish Film Makers.
