Fair Share or Falling Short?: Opposing loopholes and demanding justice in Ireland's approach to climate action
Events
During our webinar on 18th September we’ll bring you up to speed with what’s happening and provide some guidance on what we can each do to push for fair and ambitious climate action.
The webinar will include an online letter writing workshop, where you’ll have an opportunity to write to members of the Climate Committee, with support from our expert speakers. This Committee will make its recommendations to the Government by the 6th October, so September is a crucial period to push them to do the right thing.
We’ve some brilliant speakers lined up for this webinar and workshop:
Sara Shaw from Friends of the Earth International will give us a global perspective on climate fair shares. She’ll talk about how we can determine if a country is doing enough to reduce pollution – based on its historical emissions and the climate damage it has already caused, its capacity and resources, and its right to develop sustainably.
Paul Price, climate science and policy researcher, will give an expert view on the proposed Carbon Budgets for the period 2031-2040, examining crucial issues of fairness and equity. He’ll also shed light on the newly proposed “temperature neutrality’ approach to carbon budgeting, which has recently been criticised for weakening climate ambition and entrenching inequality.
There’ll be time for questions and answers and, most importantly, time for a letter writing workshop where we’ll all work together to push the Climate Committee to choose climate justice over climate inaction.
