About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of environmental injustice in Ireland and the role of the Environmental Justice Network Ireland in addressing these issues.

Pollution doesn’t stop at the border... so why should climate action? Environmental Justice Network Ireland is challenging environmental injustice on the island of Ireland. Dr Ciara Brennan & Caitlin McIlhennon tell us: how EJNI burst into life in 2019 about the ’nitty-gritty’ of building all-island courts cases and why Ireland is an amazing potential staging ground for strategic litigation.
