A campaign and associated fund that are valuable elements in building capacity for climate action in vibrant communities across the country.

This week we held a fascinating workshop with Waterford City & County Council, TASC - Think-tank for Action on Social Change, Waterford Area Partnership and Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications. The Climate Actions Works programme aims to bring communities and organisations closer together to expand the capacity for climate action at a local level. During the workshop, we sought to combine our growing understanding of behavioural barriers to the uptake of climate-beneficial behaviours, with the very insightful research conducted by TASC/WAP in Larchville & Lisduggan, to meet the needs of those communities. As is often the case, the challenges to building solutions are wide and varied but there are hopeful signs of progress in building momentum that can be applied and replicated elsewhere. We look forward to further engaging with stakeholders to support the exciting work being conducted in Waterford generally and Larchville and Lisduggan in particular. Many thanks to Gráinne Kennedy for arranging and for the various members of the Council for their attendance and input.

Consumer confidence has increased against a backdrop of positive economic data. This wave of the Ipsos B&A Consumer Confidence Barometer was conducted from the 8th – 14th July 2024. 📈 Consumer confidence has increased sharply in July 2024. It now stands at a net rating of -24 (those feeling downbeat versus those feeling more upbeat), compared to -34 in June. This is the third month in a row where confidence has improved. 💶 Indeed, confidence is at a 30-month high (stretching back to January 2022) and is up across all regions. In particular, Dubliners are more upbeat. ⛔ However, we are still in negative territory overall. Nearly half (46%) still expect the country to be worse off in the year ahead, with just 22% expecting the country to improve. 📖 READ AND DOWNLOAD the full Ipsos B&A Consumer Confidence report: https://lnkd.in/eega6rh9 The Consumer Confidence report is conducted via the Ipsos B&A Acumen Online Barometer.

Ipsos B&A is pleased to have played a role in the "Climate Change's Four Irelands" initiative conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Ireland and the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication. Findings show that while awareness of climate change is very high, there are considerable disparities in the perceptions of its causes among different audiences. About one in five of the Alarmed, and about two in five of the Concerned incorrectly say that climate change is “caused about equally by human activities and natural changes”. #IpsosBandaSurvey #Insights #ClimateChange #Environment #BeSure #DelveDeeper Laura Barbonetti John O'Mahony
