Changing The Financial Climate - DDCI's first event on climate justice

In a rapidly changing world, the environment we live in is probably changing most of all. Nevertheless, our financial system has been sluggish to respond to this unprecedented crisis, with devastating results for our planet.

In a series of talks taking place around Ireland, DDCI will explore just how the world of finance is making such a huge impact on our environment. The first of these talks, on the theme of Linking the Financial to the Environmental, will take place in Limerick, on the 16th of March, at 18:30. Featuring Peadar Kirby, Emeritus Professor of International Politics and Public Policy, and director of the Institute for the Study of Knowledge in Society, the discussion will take place in:
