.@owens_Declan of the @GJAlliance: two ‘just transitions’ converging in Ireland - an environmental one, and an economic one, and they are both achievable & important. The organising power of the trade union movement needs to be brought to bear. #ClimateJustice #GreenBargaining

Declan also highlighted the work of fellow directors @EmerRafferty @shaunaLwrites @donalkearney @saoirse_mchugh Kathryn Shaw & Simon Murtagh in creating a Just Transition. Ecojustice in Ireland is beyond the existing law, embracing trade unionism, the arts, & the Rights of Nature

An inspiring talk by @EmerRafferty on the #OneYoungWorldSummit and doing our bit for the #ClimateChange crisis. Thank you to @OIntegrated for hosting and UNA Northern Ireland. @OneYoungWorld @StCeciliasDerry

Looking forward to getting stuck into this one

This #WorldMentalHealthDay, this is my story. Told in front of 2200+ people at the @OneYoungWorld conference. Please consider sharing this post.

Furious. Heartbroken. Disbelief yet unsurprised. The government must be held accountable for its complicity in this climate crime.

🚨 BREAKING: The UK government has just approved Rosebank, the biggest undeveloped oil field in the UK. We won’t let this stand. Together we will #StopRosebank bit.ly/StopRosebank

Promoting chemical engineering to high school students at the Queens Open Day, and emphasising the need of engineers in enforcing the energy transition and bringing about sustainable systems and products.

SmartPasses Protest Supporting the movement to protect the SmartPass for over 60s. Environmental and Social reasons for saving this scheme outweigh any excuse the department can bring to the table. We’re really not asking for that much... @Ecojustice_Ire @pb4p @UniteunionNI

Hundreds of people at Belfast City Hall today demanding the retention of free travel for over 60's. The message today was unwavering. People will fight to keep these passes and also organise against all the retrograde proposals coming from the Tories/Stourmouth departments.

Why we all stand with @GretaThunberg - now more then ever Climate deniers and misogynists will always hate on Greta. We can’t let them slow down the mission 💚🌎 By @EmerRafferty - ecohustler.com/culture/why-we… #ClimateEmergency #StopRosebank

Free travel should be defended and, indeed, extended! Free public transport is a key aspect of what is required for a Just Transition in Ireland.

NIFHA annual conference - still trying to emphasis the urgent need for decarbonisation and energy efficiency within construction and housing.

Drove 150km up the motorway this glorious late summer’s evening; arrived home to notice there was not a solitary bug splash on the windscreen. Nothing. Nature is disappearing – right before our eyes, yet we’re barely even noticing
