## Resource

Former President Michael D. Higgins takes center stage at the Galway Climate Inspirations Festival, joining Ruairí McKiernan for a powerful conversation on how creativity, culture, and hope can drive climate action. Set against a backdrop of music and poetry by Áine Tyrell and Princess Mimi Chukwudi, this free event on June 28th invites audiences to reimagine a sustainable future through imagination and community. The festival, packed with over 30 events, proves that art, dialogue, and action can unite us in tackling climate change—with Higgins’ voice reminding us that culture and citizenship are essential tools for change.
