2025 Eurobarometer shows strong support for EU climate goals, renewables, & energy efficiency. Concern is rising about climate impacts, especially in Southern Europe.
Ireland shows above-average support, however there is a strong need for reliable information.

I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Joanna Macy this week. Joanna’s work played such a critical role in my own and countless other’s approach to climate action.
Thinking of all Joanna’s loved ones at this time, and looking ahead to working with others to carry her work forward.

We have an opportunity, and a responsibility, to truly embed just transition into climate action. The work at The Spark is not only showing us what is possible, but challenging us all to think bigger about what can be created through a people-centred climate transition.

Wonderful afternoon spent at TU Dublin Grangegorman campus learning about ongoing work with local sustainable energy communities, district heating projects & exploring universities as living labs. A lot to reflect on in terms of the role universities can play in helping to realise a just transition.
