Dublin Climate Action Week 2026 Set For 11–17 May

Dublin Climate Action Week 2026 will feature events across the city highlighting climate themes, ongoing projects and objectives, and the collective work of the four Dublin local authorities. The initiative is being organised and delivered by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, Dublin City Council, Fingal County Council, South Dublin County Council, the Dublin Metropolitan Climate Action Regional Office (CARO) and Codema (Dublin’s Energy Agency).

By aligning with National Bike Week and National Biodiversity Week, the programme will underscore the links between sustainable transport, climate solutions and Dublin’s natural environment. Through workshops, interactive activities and demonstrations, participants will be shown how everyday changes can contribute to a more climate‑sustainable future.

The four Directors of Service of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, Dublin City Council, Fingal County Council and South Dublin County Council stated that, "We are delighted to launch Dublin Climate Action Week 2026. This collaboration with National Bike Week and National Biodiversity Week will present a fantastic range of events, encouraging all to participate in meaningful action towards a climate resilient future. We would encourage everyone to get involved and make the most of this important week".

For Ireland’s construction and built environment community, the week provides a platform to engage with local authority climate action priorities and to track the progress of council-led projects across areas such as active travel, biodiversity and climate resilience—key considerations for planning, design and delivery.

Community groups, businesses and organisations are encouraged to get involved to strengthen connections and learn what is happening locally. The full programme will open for bookings in mid-April 2026 at www.dublinclimateactionweek.ie.
