In my experience, it is not the marginalised communities who resist. They are embracing it because they often tend to benefit from climate action, such as with increased bus services. Mobility is a huge issue when it comes to climate and social justice. It is the middle-class communities. What is the role of the PPN? That is middle Ireland, not marginalised Ireland.
