The climate crisis, a global challenge, disproportionately affects young people. They face the consequences of environmental changes and policy decisions made today; however, they are often excluded from the decision-making processes. The CCC-CATAPULT project, co-led in Ireland by Dr Kathy Reilly, Lecturer in the field of Human Geography here at University of Galway, offers a powerful platform for young people to actively engage, placing human experiences and perspectives at the forefront and ensuring young people have a voice. In conversation with Cois Coiribe, Dr Reilly delves into the intersection of geography, activism, and education, illustrating how projects like CCC-CATAPULT are a critical shift toward a more inclusive and equitable approach to global discourse. Read more about the project and her involvement as a geographer who’s passionate about positive impact.
