A free course on climate issues - designed for people aged 55+ and hosted by retired UN Diplomat, Jacinta Barrins - is set to begin this morning at 10:30am in Edgeworthstown Library.

The course will take place every Tuesday for 6 weeks and promises to offer relaxed and thoughtful conversations about climate matters in a friendly setting with good company. This is the perfect opportunity to learn as part of a group, to share ideas, and to take practical climate action in a relaxed, friendly environment.

The course, which aims to help over-55’s demystify climate change, will focus on explaining in common language what climate change is and why we are asked to act. 

Jacinta Barrins will explain over a cup of tea the science behind climate change so expect to be engaged and motivated as there will be lots of discussion on practical everyday actions that can be taken. 

The course will begin today, Tuesday January 13, from 10.30am-12.30pm in Edgeworthstown Library, N39 F7Y8.

Places are free but limited so if you want to reserve a last minute spot, phone Edgeworthstown Library on 043 - 33 43 335
