As the climate crisis deepens, engaging a broader more diverse audience in climate action is essential for achieving net-zero targets and ensuring a just transition for vulnerable communities. Research in Northern Ireland suggests, that local communities feel disconnected from decision-makers shaping climate policy, requiring more relatable accessible pathways to engage in climate solutions.
