WorldClimate - Activating our employee engagement
Global Action Plan Ireland is an environmental education organisation with a mission to support people to live more sustainable lifestyles, by offering practical yet creative solutions that inspire people to act.
Our donation will be focused on social inclusion support in addition to climate action impact through the Nature Explorer programme delivered in partnership with Young Ballymun. Our funds will go towards the delivery of the Nature Explorer programme which provides a sensory space for children and parents living in emergency accommodation to safely and intuitively explore the natural world, creating a positive space for the family unit and a positive impact on the environment.
Leave No Trace Ireland provides research, education and outreach to teach people of all ages how to enjoy the outdoors responsibly.
Our donation will fund a Hot Spot Project in 2022. The Hot Spot Programme is a critical initiative designed to address areas impacted by outdoor activities and heavy use. Using Leave No Trace solutions, these areas can be restored and thrive again. The chosen location receives a unique, site-specific blend of training, expert consulting, education programmes, service projects, monitoring programmes and more. With site-specific Leave No Trace measures in place, the area is equipped to bounce back from impacts and recover its natural qualities. The result is a sustainable outdoor area that is on the road to recovery.
The purpose of the Hot Spot Programme is to teach people how to make responsible decisions when participating in outdoor activities, to promote a sense of stewardship for the natural world and an understanding of how to reduce your carbon footprint.
