Climate awareness and action course for seniors

A free climate course for beginners aged over 55 is being offered at Naas Library, starting at the end of February, writes Brian Byrne. It will be led by retired UN Diplomat Jacinta Barrins.

The course provides valuable insights into climate and its terminology. Participants will learn about barriers to behavioural change and how to measure their carbon footprint. They will also select an action to help the planet and implement it.

Throughout the course, progress will be shared and enjoyed over a cup of tea. Climate conversations will be held to promote discussion and understanding.

The course comprises six sessions scheduled on the following dates in 2026: 24th February, 3rd March, 10th March, 19th March, 24th March, and 5th April. Each session runs from 10:30am to 12:30pm at Naas Library. A bus stop is only a two-minute walk away.

To enrol, please call 045 980795 or email naaslib@kildarecoco.ie, or use the QR code in the header image.

Kildare County Council, the Kildare Climate Action Office, and Age Friendly Kildare support this course.
