The Over 55s Climate Chats in Waterford have come to a successful close after a 6-week series of relaxed, engaging workshops led by climate facilitator and former UN Diplomat, Jacinta Barrins 🌱
Organised by our Climate Action and Age Friendly teams, the free sessions took place in Dungarvan Library, where participants came together over a cup of tea to learn about, discuss and explore climate change in a supportive and conversational setting.
From understanding what climate change is to taking practical action at home, participants shared inspiring stories, from installing solar panels and starting garden wormeries to switching to more energy-efficient heating and everyday habits. Many spoke of feeling more confident having climate conversations with family, friends and their wider community.
The programme highlighted the important role older adults play in climate leadership and community action, and the enthusiasm and commitment shown throughout was truly encouraging.
