The Climate Change Advisory Council have commissioned UCD to investigate community-level support for biodiversity and climate change action in Local Authorities.

They have selected Galway County Council as one of their 4 case studies nationally. The aim of this case study is to develop a better understanding of:

• the challenges of engaging communities in biodiversity and climate action projects;
• the ways that local authorities are navigating these challenges;
• and opportunities for better enabling community-level support for local authority works.

UCD on behalf of the Climate Change Advisory Council want to speak to volunteers who are involved in biodiversity and/or climate action as part of their community and voluntary work. The online focus group is on Thursday, August 13^th at 12 -1.30pm. The Climate Change Advisory Council, UCD and Galway County Council would value your input to this focus group.

This is an opportunity for Galway County Council to learn from your experiences and insights and to better understand how the Council can support the work that you are doing. The focus group will include other volunteers from community groups around County Galway so it will be an opportunity to learn from other groups opportunities,  challenges and experiences.

To register for this focus group you can use the QR code in the flyer attached or email Lucile to register at [email protected].
