An event will take place in Westmeath tomorrow to showcase a wide range of projects carried out through the EU Just Transition Fund - including in Galway.
In Ireland, the fund focuses on the Midlands region, including East Galway, and the impact from the move away from peat production and peat-powered electricity generation.
The event - called Just Transition Fest - will showcase projects from Galway, Kildare, Laois, Longford, Offaly, Roscommon, Tipperary and Westmeath.
They include tourism initiatives, upskilling in renewable energy, restoring natural habitats, bio-technologies, and regenerative wetland agriculture.
The event takes place at Mound Druid in Co Westmeath tomorrow from 10.30am until 4pm.
