Cairde and Friends of the Earth are delighted to have the opportunity to invite you to the launch of our collaborative research project- Roma Communities and Climate Justice: Tackling Energy and Heat Poverty in Ireland.

Since 2023, Friends of the Earth and Cairde have partnered in delivering community education with Roma learners. A key focus of our work was to research and capture how Roma communities Cairdre work with are experiencing heat and energy poverty and their attitudes towards climate change. Elena Manciu, the Roma Climate Justice Peer Education Officer at Cairde, has led this research. Our vision is that this research serves to inform policy approaches to develop meaningful supports for the Roma community, ensuring that they are not left behind in the pursuit of climate resilient policies.

With speakers:
Elena Manciu, Roma Climate Justice Peer Education Officer, Cairde

Dr. Marianna Prontera, Cairde

Clare O’Connor, Programme Coordinator – Heat, Friends of the Earth

Sara Hurley, Friends of the Earth

Please join us for our launch and discussion of our research online via Zoom on 30th October at 11:30AM
