The 2024 Galway city Climathon will take place on October 25 in the Emily Anderson Concert Hall, Quadrangle, from 9am to 4pm.
The event gives attendees the chance to share and develop innovative ideas and solutions to tackle local and urban challenges in Galway city.
The Climathon will take place in major cities across the world and this year the event aligns with Urban October and World Cities Day, global initiatives that highlight the critical role cities play in climate action.

This year our one-day event is a partnership involving Galway City Council, the University’s Sustainability Office and our long-term Climathon partners, the PorterShed."
