There has never been such urgency in confronting the Global Challenges we face as a Society
As we continue to battle the Public Health Challenge of COVID 19 and the resultant Economic Challenges which will continue into the future, the other great Global Challenge continues to require urgent attention – the Climate Crisis"
The UN Climate Change Conference scheduled for November 2021 is being suggested as “the world’s best last chance to get runaway Climate Change under control”
"In December 2019, The European Green Deal was launched – described as Europe’s new growth strategy – with an objective to make Europe the first Climate Neutral Continent by 2050.
This objective is underpinned by a Sustainable Europe Investment Plan with access to €1 trillion for sustainable solutions"
"In March 2021, the Irish Government published the Climate Bill triggering a series of actions to enable this countries first five year Carbon Budgets to come into force later this year, leading to a legally binding halving of Carbon Emissions by 2030
Change is happening
The push for Climate Neutrality, Carbon Reduction and Sustainable Activity will require a multi-layered approach
Sustainable Ideas and Innovations coming from Third Level Institutions and Start Ups will be key to success"
Over the last 10 weeks, the MaREI Centre has been encouraging Post Graduate Students, Researchers and Start Ups on the Island of Ireland to focus on their Sustainable Ideas and look to move forward
We hosted over 6 hours of online events that showcased both Irish and International support opportunities for Irish Innovators
We discussed models and templates that help structure Sustainable Ideas and explored the language of Sustainable Entrepreneurship
Finally, we worked on creating great video content to help communicate Ideas effectively and to generate progress
We encouraged the 250 plus people and businesses who engaged with us online, and all those who viewed our recorded content, to enter our competition to identify the Best Ideas in Ireland for a more Resilient and Sustainable Future"
"Now, we celebrate all those who entered and showcase the entries our adjudication panels chose as worthy of prizes
Congratulations to everyone who entered
This is just the start for many of these people and ideas……let’s all do our best to find opportunities to help, support and promote these Ideas for a more Resilient and Sustainable Future"
