The Increase in Capacity of Groups Will Contribute to Effective Maritime Spatial Planning for the Future, Including Additional Knowledge, Resources from Environmental NGOs, and Participation in Public Consultation Periods.

The Minister for Environment, Climate and Communications of Ireland, Eamon Ryan TD, announced additional funding of over €1 million for the Irish Environmental Network (IEN). The funding will allow environmental NGOs actively involved in the marine environment sector to develop their capacity and ensure additional knowledge in critical areas for achieving Ireland’s offshore wind ambitions. These areas include marine science and research, the offshore wind planning system, and capacity.

The additional funding announced today will ensure that environmental NGOs can contribute to the establishment of future MSPs, through participation in public consultation periods. This will include an upcoming second public consultation period for the South Coast MSP, scheduled for early 2024. Ryan said: ‘A properly resourced environmental NGO sector is essential for our ongoing work to accelerate the provision of offshore renewable energy. ‘In particular, the work of environmental NGOs in conservation, public awareness, and education will make a significant contribution to the establishment of future offshore MSPs.’

Offshore Wind: The Future of Renewable Energy

Offshore wind is one of the most promising forms of offshore renewable energy in the world. With the capacity to provide a clean and renewable energy source, offshore wind has the potential to revolutionize the way we obtain our energy.

Additional Knowledge about Offshore Wind

The development of planning systems for offshore wind requires a solid foundation of marine science and research. Moreover, public engagement and resources from environmental NGOs play a crucial role in future maritime spatial planning.

Local Communities and the Fishing Industry in Offshore Wind

The impact of offshore wind on local communities and the fishing industry is an important aspect to consider. Participation in public consultation periods is essential to ensure conservation and public awareness about environmental protection and biodiversity in marine areas.

Conservation Objectives in Offshore Wind

The conservation of sites and environmental protection are key objectives when developing offshore wind projects. It is essential to ensure a balance between the development of the offshore wind industry and the preservation of sensitive marine areas.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

Workers were opening a new road connection near the Marginal Tietê when they found, in the underground of the construction site, remnants of locomotives, wagons, and boilers from the 19th century linked to the forgotten history of Lapa.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

The rule of silence after 10 PM may lose strength in Brazilian cities, but noise will not be allowed, and new proposals divide residents and business owners.

The blouse tax seemed to have disappeared, but it returns in 2027 with a different name, a new federal charge, and a change that could affect the price of international purchases.

New agreement in Minas changes the entry salary in supermarkets and hypermarkets, sets a minimum wage of R$ 1,735.76, and creates an alert for workers to check adjustments, commissions, and rights on the payslip.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.

Migrant workers left the world’s largest renewable energy park in India after extreme heat, 12-hour shifts, delayed wages, and poor accommodations at a site that still promises to supply 18 million homes.
