The work being done by the Dingle Peninsula 2030 partnership with the local community, farming and transport sectors to help the area become more sustainable has been commended by the UN.
In 2018, the partnership was established in Co. Kerry, made up of the Dingle Creativity and Innovation Hub, ESB Networks, North East West Kerry Development (NEWKD) and the MaREI Centre.
So far, the partnership’s work has included: initiating a pilot Farm Ambassador Programme, using soil and water monitors to ensure that the impact from the spreading of fertilisers is minimised; and establishing the Dingle Sustainable Energy Community, among other initiatives.
