TU Dublin welcomes community participation during Climate Action Week
Meaningful climate action depends on collaboration. Reflecting the spirit of United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 17: Partnerships for the Goals, Climate Action Week 2026 brings together TU Dublin and our partners across the community, education and environmental sectors to create opportunities for learning, dialogue and action.
Through collaborations with Global Action Plan, An Taisce, Dublin South City Partnership (DSCP) and Green Foundation Ireland, TU Dublin is connecting our students, staff and wider community with opportunities to learn, engage and take action alongside sustainability leaders and advocates across Ireland.
As part of Climate Action Week, we are opening our campus doors and supporting participation in a diverse programme of events, workshops, screenings and national initiatives that encourage conversation, creativity and climate action.
Check out our public events and collaborative programmes highlighted below and see the full Climate Action Week programme here. Registration and sign up is required for each activity.
