For three weeks, including a special late opening on Culture Night, Cork City Library will show the faces of the climate crisis in this powerful installation that is now open to the public.

The climate crisis has been driven by carbon emissions, mainly from industrialised countries, but it’s the people living in less industrialised nations who are facing the greatest impact today. That’s why Trócaire is highlighting this impact, and the work of brave activists who are advocating for change.
Climate Justice Now is a photographic exhibition by Trócaire, celebrating the courage and determination of people on the frontlines of the climate crisis across the world. As well as sharing their powerful stories, this exhibition also shows the stark impact of climate breakdown, and why Trócaire is urging people on the island of Ireland to join the climate movement. The exhibition is part of Trócaire’s Climate Justice Now Campaign which is calling for a fast, fair and funded phase out of fossil fuels.
