The four Dublin local authorities are joining forces to launch the second Dublin Climate Action Week later this year.

Set to take place from 12-17 September, this week will showcase the ongoing efforts, ambitions and the collaborative approach of the four Dublin local authorities, in addressing climate action. A number of regional and local events covering a range of climate topics will be delivered as part of Dublin Climate Action Week 2022 and the full programme of events will be available in August on the DCAW22 website.

This week is being organised and delivered by the partnership of South Dublin County Council, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, Dublin City Council, Fingal County Council, Codema – Dublin's Energy Agency and the Dublin Climate Action Regional Office (CARO).

The Cathaoirleach of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, the Mayors of South Dublin County Council and Fingal County Council, and the Lord Mayor of Dublin City Council stated: "Dublin Climate Action Week provides the citizens of the city and county with an opportunity to find out first-hand what our local authorities are doing to tackle climate change. We would also urge the citizens of Dublin to use Dublin Climate Action Week as an opportunity to find out more about climate change and to use the week to examine how they can live more sustainably."

The agreed shared objectives of Dublin Climate Action Week are to:

• Demonstrate progress on the implementation of the four Dublin local authority Climate Change Action Plans, and a regional approach to climate action;


• Engage with a full range of partners to showcase efforts and innovation across sectors;


• Make climate action a 'reality' allowing citizens to see what climate action looks like;


• Promote this initiative so as to fully engage with EU and international cities and our climate peers; and


• Create a legacy so that this initiative can carry forward to subsequent years in a variety of ways.
