SUMMARY:Trócaire Documentary Screening and Panel Discussion – End Fossil Power
DESCRIPTION:The Time is Now – Exploring Education as a Tool for Human Rights in the World Today – Panel Discussion\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event has been cancelled due to illness.  \n\n\nBook Your Place\n\n\n\nBook here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull Event Details\n\n\n\nJoin us for the premiere of Trócaire’s powerful new documentary film\, End Fossil Power\, followed by an inspiring panel discussion on climate justice and the transition to a clean\, renewable future. Complimentary food and refreshments will be served prior to the screening which takes place on Friday 16 October 2026\, 7-8.30pm\, at Flux Dublin\, 4 Chatham Row\, Dublin 2\, D02PA06 for the 2026 Irish Arts and Human Rights festival. \n\n\n\nThe documentary highlights how climate change is driving poverty and injustice across the globe – particularly in countries like Malawi. Communities there have done the least to cause this global emergency\, yet they are on the frontlines as climate-related disaster hit. The documentary critically examines the role of the fossil fuel industry in delaying vital climate action. \n\n\n\nThe documentary screening is followed by a panel discussion on how we can collectively take action to end fossil power and transition to a world powered by clean\, renewable energy. Food and refreshments will be available before the screening. \n\n\n\nTrócaire emphasizes that the climate crisis is a profound human rights crisis because it causes widespread denial of basic rights—such as food\, water\, health\, and safety—in vulnerable communities who did the least to cause global emissions. Wealthy nations and major corporations hold responsibility for excess emissions\, yet poor countries in the Global South suffer the most severe droughts\, floods\, and loss of livelihoods. \n\n\n\nThis event is presented by Trócaire \n\n\n\nTrócaire is an International Non-Governmental Organisation (INGO). We work with local partners in the world’s most at-risk communities and with people in Ireland to tackle the underlying causes of poverty and injustice and respond to the crises they create. Together we bring about positive and lasting change for a just world. Trócaire is the Irish language word for “compassion”. Since it was founded by the Irish Catholic Bishops in 1973\, Trócaire has put the compassion of the Irish people into action. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nOrganisations Involved / Partner Organisation(s):\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue Information:
