There is No Planet B: an IFSC Walking Tour in a Time of Climate Breakdown

Join Financial Justice Ireland for a walking tour of Dublin's Docklands to explore how the financial district drives ecological breakdown.

This Culture Night, uncover a new way of seeing Dublin’s Docklands. Financial Justice Ireland will guide a lively walking tour that blends protest and performance at the heart of the city’s financial district.

Together we will discover how the IFSC is playing an outsized role in setting our planet ablaze with wildfires, guzzling fossil fuels with dirty investments and diverting clean energy into limitless data centre expansion.

Our speakers will invite us to consider how these interlocking crises can be resisted by illuminating pathways toward a just transition that places human flourishing and well-being ahead of profit, growth-at-all-costs economic thinking, and ecological devastation.

Featuring a wide range of brilliant speakers and timely perspectives, this is a tour not to simply attend but to join. Expect to walk, question, and sing!
