In a world overflowing with information, the way we talk about climate change is just as important as the solutions we build. This session explores how communication — clear, human, creative and courageous — can become one of our most powerful climate action tools.
Drawing on the science and psychology of climate communication, the panel shows how stories, conversations and community narratives can shift mindsets, inspire behaviour change, and strengthen collective action. From countering climate fatigue to empowering local voices, we explore how communication bridges the gap between knowledge and action.
Speakers include Professor John Sweeney (Maynooth University), Lucie Martin (Research Officer, Behavioural Insights Unit, ESRI), and Laura Costelloe (Head of Sustainability and Planet Services, Hometree). Moderated by Róisín Murphy, architect, artist, interior designer and broadcaster known for RTÉ’s Home Rescue.
