Sustainable Development Goal Week 2025

Clare County Council, in its role as an SDG Ambassador, proudly hosted Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Week for the fourth consecutive year from September 19th to 28th. This county-wide initiative was held in alignment with both National SDG Week and the European Sustainable Development Week (ESDW), underscoring Clare’s continued commitment to sustainability, community engagement, and global cooperation.

A diverse programme of events took place throughout the county, each designed to raise awareness of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and to encourage meaningful local action. Highlights of the week included:

  • Energy Café
  • SDG and Energy Awareness Event
  • SDG Masterclass in collaboration with Global Action Plan and Ennis Tidy Towns
  • Skills for Life Workshops hosted in local libraries
  • Bike Maintenance Workshops
  • Intergenerational Climate Action Workshop

These events provided valuable opportunities for individuals and communities to engage with the SDGs and explore practical ways to contribute to a more sustainable and equitable future.

Where can I get information on the SDGs?

Ireland's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) data hub is a very useful resource to access information on specific goals and for checking how Ireland is measuring up.

Are the SDGs relevant to me?

Yes they are relevant to us all - at work, at home, in our communities and schools. Whether you are an individual, a member of a Community Development Group, Tidy Towns group or working in the public or private sector we can all link what we do to an SDG or indeed several SDGs. It is good for us all to be aware of the positive contribution we can make to sustaining our local and global communities for the future.
