Our country is vulnerable to energy cost shocks as we continue to use imported fossil fuels. This has happened recently with the Israeli and the US governments interference in the Middle East. The price of Home Heating Oil rose by 67.5% between February and March of this year in Ireland. - Central Statistics Office.

It can feel disempowering to have prices jump due to actions overseas so we must act locally. How can we do that?

Come and join us on Wednesday, June 3rd at 7:30pm to find out. Caitriona Fallon of the SEAI will be providing a free information session at Fossa Community Centre in which she will tell attendees of the Warmer Homes Grant, Sustainable Energy Sources, and ways to reduce your energy bills. This event is being hosted by Fossa Climate Action Group, a voluntary, community group based in Fossa. All are welcome to attend.

A big thank you to all supporters, attendees, and exhibitors for making our annual Fair such a success. If you want any photos from the day, please feel free to reach out.

Our main event of the year will take place on Sunday 25th of January. This promises to be an exciting showcase of all that is green in our locality and county. New Exhibitors and we have added a workshop schedule for those wanting to know more. Further details following!

The Web of Life

Fossa Climate Action Group Hold Day of Reflection

As Samhain is felt and the days become ever shorter, Fossa Climate Action Group will host its last event of 2025. On Sunday 30th November at 4:30pm, ‘The Web of Life’ will be an event of reflection for all members of the public. It will take place at Fossa Church, just west of Killarney and will feature two thought provoking speakers: Sylvia Thompson and Dr. Brendan O’ Keefe.
Sylvia Thompson is a Peace Activist and Community Leader who has been working for climate justice for many years. She is also a committee member of JPIC (Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation)in Kerry. Her talk will explore ‘What do spirituality and ethics say to us about caring for our common home?’
Dr. Brendan O’ Keefe is a geographer and social scientist that has published many papers on rural geography and sustainable communities. He will examine ‘What does science tell us about Kerry’s changing climate?’
Our local area is interconnected to places that surround it and as a whole we share our home with all people, animals, and plants that form a delicate ‘web of life’.
Man did not weave the web of life;
he is merely a strand in it.
Whatever he does to the web,
he does to himself.
Everyone is welcome and admission is free thanks to funding from Community Foundation Ireland and the Department of the Environment.
