Dublin Climate Action Week (#DCAW26) returns from 11–17 May with a dynamic programme of events designed to encourage people, communities, and businesses to take practical and positive action on climate change. Showcasing Dublin’s ongoing commitment to a cleaner, greener and more climate‑resilient future, the week will feature workshops, talks, exhibitions, school programmes, community events and interactive activities taking place across the city and county. Events will focus on key themes including sustainable transport, energy efficiency, nature‑based solutions, the circular economy, and community‑led climate solutions.

 

Launching the programme James Phelan, Director Infrastructure and Climate Change, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, David Storey, Director Environment, Climate Action and Sports, Fingal County Council, Teresa Walsh, Director Climate Action, South Dublin County Council, and Patricia Reidy, Executive Manager Climate Action, Dublin City Council jointly stated:

 

“Climate action happens locally, and the events during Dublin Climate Action Week will empower people to make a difference. From considering small lifestyle changes to implementing large‑scale policy initiatives, this week will highlight how everyone has a role in tackling the climate crisis.”

 

 

 

All the events align with Ireland’s national climate targets and the Dublin Local Authorities’ Climate Action Plans, reinforcing the ambition to reduce emissions, improve air quality, and support a just transition for all communities. Residents, businesses, organisations, and community groups will be encouraged to get involved by attending events, hosting activities, or sharing their own climate initiatives with a wider audience. 

 

All events will be free and open to the public, with both in‑person and online options available. For the full programme and event registration details, visit www.dublinclimateactionweek.ie.  or follow us on social media for updates.

 

The week is organised and delivered by Dún Laoghaire‑Rathdown County Council, Fingal County Council, Dublin City Council, South Dublin County Council, the Dublin Metropolitan Climate Action Regional Office (CARO) and Codema – Dublin’s Energy Agency.
