How a Dublin Community is Leading Climate Action from the Ground Up - with Caitríona Kenny, Co-Founder and Chair of Connecting Cabra

Today we meet Caitríona Kenny, a community officer, environmental educator and one of the co-founders of the Sustainable Energy Community Connecting Cabra in Dublin 7, Ireland. Sustainable Energy Communities are community-led initiatives to empower locals to take climate action at a local level. Cabra was one of the first to establish in Ireland and the community has since expanded their connect-learn-and-share model to also include biodiversity projects, tree planting and growing food together. I spoke with Caitríona to understand how they made this happen and what we can learn from their journey to inspire you to start your own community project.Recording location: Caitríona’s sun-filled living room in the heart of Cabra, Dublin, Ireland.Connect with Caitríona:Website: www.connectingcabra.ieemail: [email protected] comments, ideas and collaborations contact me at:email: [email protected]: claudiageratz.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudiageratz/To become a guest on the Doing Hope podcast or nominate someone you know, please complete this short form: https://forms.gle/BzHSz7dNYcKDK8VLA🎹 Intro Music by the talented Alberto Gariglio.Listen to more of his piano music here:https://www.instagram.com/albertogariglio.77https://www.youtube.com/@albertogarigliomypianomusi1392Thank you for listening.
