Cliona calls for climate action participation by groups

A call has been issued for organisations in County Kildare to get involved in the Climate Action Linkage Group via the Kildare Public Participation Network, writes Brian Byrne.

Kilcullen resident Cliona Kelliher, who is the Environmental Representative on the PPN, is looking for people in any organisation to work for a long-term climate action strategy in the county.

"The organisation doesn’t necessarily need to be specifically environmental, it is open to everyone," she says. The only requirement to join the PPN, a simple online process."

Cliona notes the benefits of PPN membership include access to training and information and a link into Kildare County Council via the reps. "If your organisation is already a PPN member, then you can just contact myself, clionamkelliher@gmail.com, or the PPN resource workers via kildareppn@gmail.com, and let them know you have an interest."

There is a really good team of people now working together with a vision of collaboration with the Council staff and Councillors to further Climate Action goals in Kildare, Cliona says. What they have been doing is available on the website.  "It is an open and collaborative process and we welcome everyone."
