This free programme will be delivered both online and in-person in September - November 2025 (about 7.5 hours in total per month). The programme is designed to support you and your community to create climate action. You will have the opportunity to present your climate solutions in a final summit with other communities across Ireland in December. The programme will enable you to:
- Recognise how climate change impacts your local community
- Co-design innovative solutions to address climate change
- Scale-up climate solutions within your community
- Network with community members in Waterford and across Ireland to create a sustainable future
- Access climate funding opportunities within your community.
Programme Accreditation
We are pleased to offer up to 50 community members a place on the programme. The programme is part-funded by the Higher Education Authority and Waterford County Council. You will receive a certificate of completion from IKC3 upon course completion. Those from Waterford City will have priority, but depending on availability, there may be additional spaces for participants from Waterford County.
Do you know any community leaders who might be interested? Or a business owner eager to reduce their environmental impact and support their community? Perhaps there is someone who is genuinely passionate about exploring more sustainable practices?
If this sounds like you, someone you know or you need more information, please reach out to us with your expression of interest by June 19th at climateaction@waterfordcouncil.ie
