COMMUNITY NOTES: BALLYHAUNIS - WESTERN PEOPLE (OCTOBER 7 EDITION)
Climate Café Connacht, a new space to allow locals discuss climate change, drew a crowd of 15 for its first meeting and there are plans for another gathering on October 18 at the Friary House.
That date coincides with Climate Week, organised by Mayo County Council, which is funding several events in Ballyhaunis.
Scientists have agreed that achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 is essential for humanity’s preservation as rising sea levels, extreme heat and violent storms threaten to make much of the world uninhabitable for future generations.
The European Union aims to reduce emissions by 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
