From Climate Change to guerrilla gardening, ECO-fashion shows to pedal powered smoothie-makers — and everything in between — it’s all covered by this year’s talented batch of ECO-UNESCO Young Environmentalists.

Up to 2,000 young people will attend the ECO-UNESCO Young Environmentalist Awards Showcase in Dublin’s Mansion House on May 12. The free showcase will highlight the 50 shortlisted projects from young people all across Ireland and Northern Ireland, selected for their outstanding environmental action projects.

The Lord Mayor of Dublin, Emer Costello, will officially open ECO-UNESCO’s Young Environmentalist Awards Showcase on 12 May in the Round Room of Dublin’s Mansion House, open to the public from 11:00-3:00.

There will be many exciting green-themed activities, creative recycling workshops, entertainment and a Biozone to Celebrate the UN Year of Biodiversity with exciting activities for young people.

After the day’s festivities, ECO-UNESCO will present awards for the top projects in a ceremony hosted by RTE’s Aidan Power with a special address by Ciaran Cuffe, TD, Minister of State with special responsibility for Sustainable Transport, Horticulture, Planning and Heritage.
