Waterford communities take action to become climate neutral by 2040

Action Climate Targets will tackle themes including suburban transport, domestic energy use, horticulture, biodiversity, and responsible consumption

Working with Dunmore Road Communities as part of ACT Waterford, creative Joanne Donohue is exploring the residential area, chatting to residents, examining access to bus routes from the residential estates, and exploring walking and cycling options already available. 

Four Waterford communities have come together in a year-long project tackling climate change, in a bid to accelerate the county's transition to becoming climate neutral by 2040.

ACT (Action Climate Targets) Waterford, which is funded by Creative Ireland Climate Action fund and involves the local authority and South East Technological University (SETU), will see the communities tackle themes including suburban transport, domestic energy use, horticulture, biodiversity, and responsible consumption.
