The topics are Polluters, Youth Engagement, Education, Biodiversity and Youth Engagement. Climate Assembly Eire hopes to bring young people face to face with decision makers and ready to negotiate, communicate and get their demands into action. Day 1 will take place on the 17^th of October, 2021. This will be an all day event packed with workshops, activities, and demand making. This will be followed up by a national event on the 23^rd of October where TD’s, Ministers, Politicians and Youth Representatives will meet on zoom and discuss the demands created on the 17^th.
