Projects

Green Foundation Ireland has engaged in several GEF funded projects on both practical Green energy and philosophical Green values issues.

GFI Director Duncan Stewart and a support team are currently working on creating new Green Foundation Ireland environmental education projects with other members of the Irish Environmental Network.

In the future, GFI plans to engage with community projects on sustainability in an urban setting. GFI intends to make these projects as effective as possible by designing them to be practical, “hands-on” and accessible.

PARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY

By Active Citizenship, Projects

“Sustainable Democratic Energy for Ireland and Europe

Such infrastructure is potentially very invasive to local communities. Developing community support for such projects through participative democracy and community involvement is a major challenge that needs to be met if the switch to renewable energy is to take place.
