Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Climate Action and Sustainable Development Education: Discussion.
Mr. Shari Irfan:
I would just say as a general point, when talking about climate change, one should focus on the human aspect of it. Obviously, there are a lot of stats around it. They are very concerning. They show the world is tearing itself apart. However, if one focuses on the human argument and if the facts are humanised and people are made to realise that this is not something that is only going to affect them, even though they will be gone in a couple of decades, and that it will affect their children and grandchildren, when stuff like that is put into that sort of perspective, people tend to care about it a little more.
