Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Youth Perspectives on Climate Challenges: Discussion with Foróige and Comhairle na nÓg
Ms Ruth Cunningham:
On the point about how we need economic change to fight the climate crisis, as I walked in today I wondered where we would be now if a quarter of the money invested into Leinster House was invested into climate change. Mr. Konefal and the rest of the speakers brought up perfectly the inequalities in our society. For example, people in rural areas are not as well off as people in Dublin city. We need the Government to fund those rural areas and offer us different incentives to change.
