New initiative wants to add environmental issue to city’s vision

A new initiative aiming to accelerate the transition to a low carbon sustainable future has been launched in Galway.

The Post Carbon Galway (PCG) initiative aims to work in partnership with all sectors to ensure that environmental issues are to the fore in the coming years.

And the team believe that – with Galway’s recent successes in landing the 2020 Capital of Culture crown as well as the European Green Leaf award for Sustainable City in 2017 and European Region of Gastronomy in 2018 – their vision can add another string to that bow.

“While the eyes of the world are upon us, Galway now has a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of world cities in leading not only in the more traditional vision of arts and culture but in the green transition to a more sustainable future, in effect becoming Ireland’s first CO2 neutral capital,” explained PCG’s Brendan ‘Speedie’ Smith.
