A local solution to a global problem: community wealth building and climate
Queen's University Belfast
This event will take place at Queen's University Belfast and will involve panel talks, followed by a Q&A session to discuss community wealth building and climate action.
The panel will discuss opportunities for local government and communities to address the climate crisis, deliver effective climate action in ways that secure jobs, reduce inequalities and shift our economies beyond 'business as usual', such as community wealth building.
This event will be led by John Barry, Professor of Green Political Economy and Co-director of the Centre for Sustainability, Equality and Climate action at Queen's. Panel members will include Mary McManus (Community Wealth Building Researcher), Sean McCabe (Nevin Economic Research Institute) and Sean Byers (Trademark Belfast).

Making NI a Living Wage Region
Advice NIConferenceTraining/AdviceNorthern Ireland has the highest proportion of jobs paid below the real Living Wage in the UK, with some council areas seeing rates as high as one in four. Women are disproportionately affected, with 24.5% earning below the Real Living Wage compared to 16.3% of men. Part-time workers face an even greater disparity - at 38%, they are nearly three times more likely to be paid below the Real Living Wage than full-time workers, where only 13.5% fall below this threshold.- - -
