Calls For Clare People To Have Greater Say In Shaping Climate Policy

Clare FM

It's claimed Clare people have been neglected by government when it comes to shaping climate policy. It follows the new Climate Conversation Report from the Department of Environment which has identified a reluctance of men to eat less meat and young people to reduce flying abroad as barriers to tackling climate change. The report, which surveyed over 12,000 people nationwide also found that just 48% of respondents say they use public transport more often than their car. Co-Founder of Future Proof Clare and Clare Public Participation Network, Theresa O'Donoghue has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that while more personal urgency is needed, people deserve more say on decisions affecting daily life.
