Ep 55. Climate Action Community & Communication – Gary, Climate Ambassador Programme

Gary Tyrrell works for An Taisce’s educational unit as part of the Climate Ambassador Programme. You’ll have heard me chat about this programme over the past year as it’s one I was accepted onto myself, plus I interviewed a few ambassadors from it! They open applications for the following year usually every September so make sure to check out their website if you’re interested in taking part (click here for their application page).
