Galway Bay FM Newsroom – Galway City Council has given a firm commitment to tackle climate change and biodiversity issues.
A motion from Green Party Councillor Martina O’Connor and Fianna Fáil’s Peter Keane, calling for the Council to take a bigger role in tackling environmental issues has been supported unanimously
Under the motion, Galway City Council has agreed to fully endorse the contents of the international “Leaders Pledge for Nature,” signed by Ireland prior to the UN Biodiversity Summit in September 2020.
Specifically from this international declaration, the City Council has affirmed its unequivocal support and commitment to the statement in the declaration, that the earth is in a state of planetary emergency and the interdependent crisis of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation and climate change require urgent and immediate global action.
Nature lovers generally want to shout from the rooftops about how essential it is to protect biodiversity, but Emma Finn has gone a step further – she brings nature to the rooftops.
Creator of Bees On The Roof, the Dublin-based beekeeper provides and manages beehives for companies and organisations that want to bring some of the great outdoors to their often synthetic corporate surroundings.
Rooftops are the ideal spot and, depending on how hands-on clients want to be, Emma can install hives purely for their value to nature and, in good years, the reward of some lovely honey, or as a practical learning experience for staff who want to do something a little different on their lunch break.
