Climate activism is a global movement dedicated to fighting climate inaction and climate injustice to create a sustainable and equitable world for all. It often involves campaigning and lobbying political leaders to take responsibility and achieve critical climate goals whilst holding industry players accountable for their environmental impacts. The climate movement has been around for decades, but has grown in strength and urgency in recent years in response to anthropogenic climate change and biodiversity loss. With global temperatures predicted to rise significantly in the coming years if we don’t immediately and radically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the importance of climate activism (and activists) has never been so clear. But how do you get involved with climate activism in the first place?

In the 19th installment of the Green campus podcast we talk to Student Support Administrator Natalie O’Byrne.

On Wednesday the 12th of July, a "pitch-in" day was held in UCC Community Garden.
