Climate Change Thursday 11th March 2021

A presentation by Diarmiud Torney

Torney ILI presentation 11 Mar 2021

If you wish to explore the subject matter further, Diarmuid Torney has suggested a few Irish-based podcasts on climate that he would recommend:

– Five Degrees of Change by Daniel Murray, a journalist with the Business Post who covers climate & environment issues. In each episode he interviews a leading expert in the field and asks their recommendations for climate policy and also what they are doing themselves about their own carbon footprint

– Covid Alarmclock: A great new podcast by two of my students, Ellen Hegarty and Darragh Wynne, who are/were students on our MSc in Climate Change. It explores the parallels between covid and climate change and asks what we can learn from our response to covid for how we respond to climate change. It just launched last week.

– Climate Allies by Ali Sheridan, who has worked in a range of corporate sustainability roles including with IKEA and Bord Bia, and who is now undertaking a PhD in Maynooth on the role of business in tackling climate change.

– Climate Queens by Katie Harrington and Clodagh Kelly. Katie is another one of my students on our MSc in Climate Change. It’s an entertaining and very accessible perspective on sustainability.

Irish Rivers 2040, a design-led approach to flood protection in Ireland.

Presentation by REDscape Landscape & Urbanism, Dingeman Deijs Architects, Van Paridon de Groot and Palmbout Urban Landscapes.

Special guest: Henk Ovink, Special Envoy for International Water Affairs for the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The project Irish Rivers 2040 was set up to investigate a design-led approach to flood protection in Ireland. The project has been commissioned by the OPW, Dublin City Council, Fingal County Council and Cork City Council with co-funding from the Creative Industry Fund in the Netherlands and several Dutch offices. These include Dingeman Deijs Architects, Palmbout Urban Landscape, Van Paridon de Groot Landscape Architects and REDscape Landscape and Urbanism who led the initiative for the project. See www.redscape.ie, www.dingemandeijs.nl, www.palmbout.nl, www.vpxdg.nl.

The study applies the Dutch design experience to the Irish situation using working examples in which flood protection, amenity enhancement and water quality management are combined. This ‘Dutch method’ uses a highly integrated design approach and seeks to promote sustainable values and long-term aims for flood protection.

The aim of the webinar is to disseminate the learnings from the study looking at four case studies which demonstrate how flood protection in urban, suburban, and coastal areas can be approached. It is an interactive webinar that welcomes feedback and participation and wishes to explore how the design-led approach can be better facilitated by local authorities and its partners. The webinar is to be moderated by planner, Conor Norton.

ILI Sourcing Ethically – Respecting Human and Environmental Rights in YOUR Supply Chain (1)

“Right now, man-made commodities and natural stone is being used in construction or build projects throughout the Island of Ireland (and further a-field) where human beings or the environment were harmed to enable a cheap product supply. It is in your power to recognise and change business models that degrade human beings or our environment. It is up to you to specify and insist on landscape or building commodities that are manufactured or routed via supply chains who place the primacy of human rights and environmental protections at the core of their trade. Hardscape Ireland want to work in a co-ordinated effort with designers and contractors to create decent work for all as the foundations of a green, inclusive and resilient recovery thus this short presentation by Glenn Bradley, Head of Supply Chain for Hardscape will help you focus on existing and emerging regulations that will enable you to help end all forms of poverty, fight inequality and help tackle climate change.”
