Irish European Climate Pact Ambassadors to take part in Pact’s Annual Event

Ireland’s European Climate Pact Ambassadors will this week be attending the Pact’s Annual Conference in Brussels, held this year under the theme of ‘Together in Action’. Together with Ambassadors from other member states, Ambassadors Dr Laura Kirwan and Martin Brocklehurst will be showcasing their work in driving grassroots community climate action throughout Ireland.

As a Sustainability Lead at Nutritics, an Irish-headquartered global leader in food data technology, and an expert in eco-friendly food systems, Dr. Kirwan has drawn on her extensive experience to create a sustainable menu for the event using the “Footprint” software, a digital tool allowing for the analysis and creation of eco-friendly dishes. An experienced thought leader on the role of food in fighting climate change, Dr Kirwan previously spoke at COP29, and served as a delegate at last year’s UN World Food Forum.

Joining Dr Kirwan will be Martin Brocklehurst, whose work as an Ambassador centres on the role of citizen science in driving grassroots climate action, advocating for citizen science as a key part of implementation plans for major global environmental resolutions. A veteran of climate action, Brocklehurst has spent over four decades involved in environmental efforts in the public sector, as well as with academic and NGO clients on major EU projects.

The Annual Conference represents a landmark moment in the European climate calendar, bringing together over 500 citizens, policymakers, businesses and community leaders from all 27 EU member states to connect in a shared celebration of the collective action needed to drive Europe’s transition to a climate-neutral future.
