Video Recordings of Presentations delivered at the 5th Conference on Intergenerational Climate Justice

The 2024 Conference on Intergenerational Climate Justice took place on the 17th of October.  The theme of this year’s event was, “Climate Justice Who Cares?, reflecting both the current apathy and fatigue around climate activism and also the very evident failure of those in power, political leaders, governments and big business to care enough and to make the decisions and changes needed to address climate change and the injustice it causes.

The organising of this event was led by the SMA and the OLA in collaboration with four Community Groups based in Cork. As in previous year’s, the Conference aimed to deepen understanding of the climate crisis and to inspire participants to actively engage in addressing the injustice of climate change.
