5 mins talk on my PhD research during visit by Mary Robinson to @ICARUS_Maynooth @Maynoothgeog from 2011

A bit cringe to see a 29 year old me present! Could give the same talk today and would still be very relevant

#TBThursday on a Saturday.

Wrote this piece in 2008 with Niamh. Rereading in 2024 many of the findings are still incredibly relevant.

Good to see coastal communities in #Ireland 🇮🇪 engaging on climate action. @HelenClarkFound has published recently on the importance of community engagement in #climatechange adaptation. This may be of interest to Irish colleagues: https://t.co/aQ4vGxBFE1

A very big thank you to Jacqui and the team at @RediscoveryCtr for having us yesterday. Fantastic to see all the work they do to repair, reuse, remanufacture and recycle items. A very good reminder at this time of year to use your imagination to repurpose items around you.

Very heartening to see 123 political prisoners released from #Belarus jails in agreement brokered by USA. These brave people stood up against a rigged election & have suffered greatly in detention. ⁦@Tsihanouskaya⁩ #alesbialiatski #mariakolesnikova https://t.co/U4ho9lO0rL

With 90% of renewables cheaper than fossil fuels, why isn’t the transition accelerating faster? Meeting the UAE Consensus means 1,122 GW/year of new renewables.

The barrier isn’t tech alone - it’s implementation, policy & markets 👉https://t.co/jGl7n5tUP2

Flagship decarbonised zones in each local authority should be supported to implement locally appropriate solutions in these areas. Councils must be given support to ensure the success of these projects.
