Concerned about climate change and the end of oil?

 

Care about social justice?

 

Fed up with the response of government and corporations to the biggest crisis humanity faces?

 

You are not alone.

 

The movement we are building is for you - and everyone else who cares about our future. And it's growing. Getting involved is easy - you don't need any special skills.

 

Now is the time to join Irish people from all walks of life to share ideas, make friends and start taking collective action. Climate Camp- Action for Social Justice is a place where anyone who cares about climate change and can meet, live, learn and take direct action together. The first camp took place in August 15th-23rd 2009, in Co. Offaly. 9 days of great food, workshops and action for a just, sustainable future in Shannonbridge has strenghtened our movement. Now it's time to take the next step...

 

Why get involved?

 

Meet: Concerned about climate change? Feel like our current economic system is fuelling more than one crisis? You’re not alone – join Irish people from all walks of life to share ideas, make friends and start taking collective action.

 

Share and Learn: Discover alternatives. Get up-to-speed with the science and economics.  Learn the skills you need - from how to facilitate discussions and grow your own veg, to how to take direct action and talk to the media. We are hoping to continue to skill-share and put on workshops at gatherings throughout the year so get in touch if you'd like to offer one.


Take Action: Find like-minded people. Get trained-up and share your skills. Make plans. Whether you want to make a silly costume, wrap a climate criminal in bunting, shut down a power station,  or work on a just transition for workers in fossil fuel industries,  you will find people to join you. And get prepared to join people taking direct action all over the world, including global days of action for climate justice in December 2009.

 

The climate camp  is being organised by volunteers and anyone can get involved.

We have four aims:

  • To create a space for education

  • To take direct action against the root causes of climate change

  • To create a model of sustainable living

  • To build a movement for climate and social justice
