All submissions for the secondary schools sustainability competition ‘Making Dublin Greener’ are now in and it’s time for the judging to commence.
Dublin is facing many challenges resulting from climate change, from air pollution to extreme weather events, such as flooding. It grows clearer each day that if we are to lessen harmful impacts on the environment, the time to implement mitigation and adaptation strategies is now.
By becoming involved with Making Dublin Greener, classes can inform their fellow students, teachers, parents and guardians on the impacts of climate change and can educate them on solutions and preventative actions.
Making Dublin Greener means making Dublin a healthier, more environmentally-friendly and desirable place in which to live and work.
Winners will be announced at the Making Dublin Greener awards event for secondary schools, which will take place in Dublin’s Mansion House, on December 1, 2022.
Category winners will receive a prize of €2,000, while a prize of €1,000 will be awarded to the special merit winner.
