Dublin Climate Action Week is an annual week-long initiative that brings together the four Dublin Local Authorities, Codema (Dublin’s Energy Agency), and the Dublin Climate Action Regional Office (CARO) to raise awareness of climate action across the city and county.
Running each May, the week highlights the vital role individuals, communities, and organisations can play in tackling climate change through local action. With events focused on biodiversity, energy, transport, circular economy, and more, it’s a chance for everyone to get involved, learn, and be inspired.
Join us for an exciting lineup of free events across our branches this May! From climate science workshops and sustainability talks to creative reuse and biodiversity activities, there’s something for everyone.
