Professor Iris Moeller in the Irish Times

The Irish Times has a piece by Iris Moeller on a proposed new qualification in climate change and climate action.

In it, she suggests we already have a suitable subject for this.... it's called GEOGRAPHY.


"Geographers never lose sight of the interconnectedness of everything – across space and through time. There is simply no better discipline for this.

Instead of recognising geography for what it is, does and delivers, why, in our senior cycle curriculum, are we now introducing the content of geography into a new subject, risking, at best, duplication of material and, at worst, the loss of a rich and long history of solution-finding which began over 200 years ago and from which we could learn so much?"
