The event forms part of the Creative Places Balbriggan Project, developed by Fingal County Council Arts Office and funded by The Arts Council. Through one of the project’ strategy pillars of Climate Action, Creative Places Balbriggan creates opportunities for artistic exchange, community participation and conversations around ecology, climate action and more sustainable creative practices. This workshop is also supported by Fingal County Council’ Climate Action Unit, through the Government of Ireland’s DZ Demonstrator Fund, with the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment. Balbriggan is the designated Decarbonising Zone for Fingal County. A Decarbonising Zone (DZ) is a chosen area where local authorities and communities work together to reduce the amount of carbon produced by their everyday activities. The main objective of a Decarbonising Zone is to find innovative but achievable ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the area by 51% by 2030.
