Are you a voter who cares about climate change? The upcoming local election is your opportunity to make an impact. Not Here Not Anywhere has created an election pledge so that candidates can show the public if they are serious about climate action. We are asking candidates whether they would be willing to take concrete action on two very important issues threatening Ireland’s climate targets: LNG and data centres. Specifically, we’re asking candidates to either raise motions on LNG and data centres, making them a climate leader, or vote for these motions, making them a climate supporter. If motions on LNG and data centres are passed in lots of councils, then this puts pressure on the government to prioritise climate action. You can read more about LNG and data centres and why they’re important climate issues here.
