When – Wednesday, 20th March 2024, 7:00pm – 9:00pm

Join Trócaire for a panel discussion where we imagine what a world with Climate Justice would look like. We will take a look at the current situation where many women, men and children in poor countries who have done the least to cause this crisis are suffering the most. We will see what these affected communities are doing in response, ask what policymakers can do to bring about climate justice and look a little closer to home to see how we can join in and take action.

Light refreshments will be served

Peter Heaney, Trócaire’s Head of Region for Northern Ireland, will chair the discussion with members of the Trócaire policy team and Trócaire partners from our Climate Change portfolio. We will also feature some special guests from Northern Ireland to share their perspectives on the key challenges we face and what can be done to ensure we no longer have to imagine a world with climate justice.

The Trócaire Policy Team will join us to talk about what policymakers need to do to bring about climate justice. Tackling the structural causes of poverty and injustice is core to Trócaire’s approach to how we work. Trócaire’s Policy and Campaigns Team leads this work, engaging people across the island of Ireland to take action on issues of global injustice and working with our leaders and elected representatives to play an integral role in building a just and sustainable world. We urge those with power to take action – both domestically and within international forums – to contribute significantly towards global justice. The Policy Team provides expert analysis, research, policy briefs, reports and opinion pieces relating to the key policy issues which affect the communities we work with all over the world. Our advocacy campaigns for nearly half a century have challenged apartheid in South Africa, businesses abusing human rights, trade with illegal Israeli settlements, and for over a decade we have raised the urgent need for Climate Justice. We continue to hold the Irish Government, the Northern Ireland Assembly and the UK Government to account for their policies and actions which impact on global poverty and injustice.
