Are you involved in an environmental group or campaign? Are you interested in all-island action on the environment?
The IEN and NI Environment Link invite you to join us at the Imperial Hotel Dundalk, Friday 11 October 10am-3pm for in-person all-island dialogue and networking event.
This event brings together environmental groups and campaigners from all corners of the island to collaborate, share ideas, and inspire change. It follows the five online dialogues which focused on key environmental themes.
We will be discussing the findings of the online dialogues and our shared environmental challenges and possible solutions. We will also revisit the complex issue of post-Brexit environmental governance.
Most importantly, we will discuss how we can work together more effectively on an all-island basis. A detailed agenda will be issued shortly.
This Forum is a participative event and a big focus of the day will be on networking, meeting people from across the island and building links in the environmental movement.
If you are interested in the continuing the dialogue or you missed the online dialogues please join us for the final in-person event of the Forum in please join us in Dundalk on October 11th.
