"Ireland has among the lowest numbers of #communitygardens and allotments in the EU".

This new report from our friends at the @rediscoveryctr.bsky.social explores how Ireland’s cities can play a much bigger role in delivering a "circular bioeconomy".

It was great to contribute to the Worldwise Global Schools Annual Teacher Conference last week.

Amazing to see the depth of commitment and passion from secondary school teachers to embedding GCE in their schools and their practice.

Thanks to all who organised and attended!

We are delighted to partner with Aga Khan Academy Mombasa in a project that builds young people's digital skills and empowers change.

The #JustMaps project shows how youth-led mapping can spark civic engagement and real-world learning.

The #dandelion is one of nature’s quiet teachers: resilient, generous and deeply connected to the land.

On St. Brigid’s Day, we take a moment to highlight this Imbolc symbol, and Brigid’s legacy as a carer of the Earth.

At #Imbolc, the land begins to stir, and the first #dandelions remind us that spring is coming.

On St. Brigid’s Day, we celebrate renewal, hope and our deep connection with the natural world.

The report shows that big majorities want more #government and #business action on #climate and inequality.

That's why we work at multiple levels (individual, community and business) to change the systems that discourage sustainable lifestyle choices.

Read at: www.ingka.com/projects/peo...
This new report shows that the bottleneck to greater #sustainability is not #motivation, but #agency: People don’t know which actions matter most; feel constrained by cost; and feel unsupported by our political and economic systems.

Today is #winniethepooh day.

At GAP Ireland we are inspired by Winnie The Pooh and so many others who share our belief that people acting together, can drive system-level changes.

The government has admitted that Ireland will miss its climate emissions-cut targets.

The expected €28 billion penalty is a crisis point, forcing us to rethink our priorities.

“Even when people recognise the real risks posed by #climatechange, many seem to perceive these risks as primarily affecting others, ...
This is a #psychological bias that, in the worst case, can slow down climate adaptation and mitigation efforts.”

Scientists warn that our understanding and perception of climate-fuelled risks are “limited and flawed”.

Many of us care about #climatechange, but we often think others don’t.

Psychological science points us toward two critical levers for climate action: #social norms and #sustainable habits:
