European Sustainable Development Week is a European-wide initiative to promote and make visible activities, projects, and events that encourage sustainable development. 
       

It takes place from 18th September – 8th October 2022 with the main core of activities from 20-26th September. The ESDW 2022 will link to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 
       

The Sustainable Development Goals are 17 interlinked goal to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice.
        

Cllr George Lawlor, Cathaoirleach, said “I am delighted to officially launch Sustainable Development Week and for County Wexford to be part of this European wide initiative. This week is all about promoting all types of events that promote sustainability. Everyone is encouraged to take part from individuals to communities and tidy towns groups to businesses. We can all play our part in a more sustainable society.”
        

Cllr Mary Farrell said “Many community groups have already taken the lead in promoting more sustainable activities through beach and town clean ups and reducing our waste and use of plastics. I would encourage all groups and individuals to get involved.” 
      

Clare Kelly, Climate Officer with Wexford County Council, stated “There are a range of interesting presentations and outdoor activities organised to address the themes outlined in the goals. We are very fortunate in county Wexford to have enthusiastic voluntary groups including sustainable energy communities who are all working towards a more sustainable future.”
