The Cloughjordan Ecovillage will host a Communities for Future local hub on the evening of Thursday 6th of February.

Participants are invited to gather In the WeCreate centre to discuss the Communities for Future Summit interviews we watched, experience one of the webinars together, and discuss our response as a community to the climate and ecological emergency.

The evening will also introduce and discuss ECOLISE’s plans for supporting community led action on climate through a new platform called ‘Communities for Future’, which will be launched later in the year. https://www.ecolise.eu/

ECOLISE, the European network for community-led initiatives on climate change and sustainability. Members include international networks of community-based initiatives such as the Transition Network (representing over 1200 Transition initiatives), the Global Ecovillage Network (15,000 ecovillages), the Permaculture movement (3 million practitioners globally) ICLEI, the association of local governments for sustainability; and national and regional networks; and other specialist bodies engaged in research, training and communications to support community-led response to the climate and ecological emergency.

Cloughjordan Ecovillage sees itself as a unique model of how communities can respond to the many challenges of climate change, building not just ecological resilience but also economic regeneration and sustainability. It therefore seeks to play an every more active role in facilitating learning and discussion about the challenges of transitioning to a low-carbon society. www.thevillage.ie
