The Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications is seeking input into Ireland’s Social Climate Plan 2025 — and this is a moment where the voice of social enterprises really matters.

The Social Climate Plan is about ensuring a fair and just transition as we address climate change. It will set out how Ireland supports households, communities, and businesses in meeting the challenges of moving towards a low-carbon economy.

💡 Social enterprises are already at the forefront of tackling social and environmental challenges — from creating green jobs to supporting vulnerable communities. This consultation is a chance to:

  • Highlight the role your organisation plays in climate action and community resilience

  • Share examples of how social enterprises deliver social value alongside environmental impact

  • Shape how government supports can enable social enterprises to do even more

📢 We strongly encourage social enterprises, networks, and supporters to make a submission. Your experience and insight are vital to ensuring the plan reflects the lived realities of communities across Ireland.

Together, we can ensure that Ireland’s Social Climate Plan delivers for people, planet, and communities.
