Come & See Inspirations

On this weeks programme John is joined by Fintan from Trocaire and Fr Derek Leonard of Limerick diocese to speak about Trocaire's 2015 Lenten campaign.This year, Trócaire’s Lenten campaign highlights how communities in developing countries are struggling to survive in the face of extreme changes in their weather systems. Climate change is now a leading cause of poverty in many of the communities where Trócaire works. Hundreds of millions of  people rely on agriculture for their daily survival.  But unreliable rainfall, storms and floods are making it increasingly difficult to grow crops. With your support and solidarity, Trócaire is working with affected communities to adapt and cope with the unpredictability of the changing climate. This includes finding alternative water supplies, diversifying crops, sustainable land management and being prepared for extreme weather events when they happen.
