Social Justice Matters Podcast - Aoife Ní Lochlain on Aviation and Fairness in Climate Policy: The Case for Making Flying Pay

Our 2024 Annual Social Policy Conference was on the theme of ' Managing Change to Build a Just Society'. Ireland is going through several major transitions, each of which is only going to deepen with time. While much is changing, many of the problems facing our society are long-standing: inequality, poverty, and under-investment in our social infrastructure remain major challenges. Although the economy in Ireland has experienced record growth since the pandemic, infrastructure and services in areas such as housing, healthcare and public transport are far below the levels and standards that would be expected in a normally functioning society.

Aoife Ní Lochlainn is Policy and Advocacy Manager at the Irish Environmental Network. 

Aoife presented her paper at our 2024 Annual Social Policy Conference.
