Climate Connected Web Tool Launched at event in Galway by the 71st Mayor of Galway City, Councillor Mike Hubbard.
A major new national resource for community climate action, ClimateConnected.ie, was officially launched yesterday in Galway, marking a significant step forward in empowering local groups, households and organisations to take practical, measurable climate action.
Developed to support communities across Ireland in understanding and reducing their carbon footprint, ClimateConnected.ie provides an accessible, user-friendly web tool that guides people through their home energy use, transport habits, shopping patterns, diet and waste management—helping users identify their biggest emission sources and explore realistic pathways to reduce them, both as individuals and as part of community action.
According to Dr Jean Moore of the National Economic and Social Council, who also spoke at the launch. “Climate Connected is a really excellent example of the kinds of collaborative wide-ranging climate action, activities and projects that are going on at the local level and that really supports the work that we have been doing at NESC on the energy transition, where we see community-led action as a key enabler and lever for transformative change”.
