Aoife O’Donnell

Sustainability Consultant

Your host for this module on Climate Action Awareness, Aoife O’Donnell is an environmental scientist and senior sustainability manager. A role such as this requires an extensive knowledge about all things environmental and climate related.

Humans and our actions have such a big impact on the environment, more than we may realise, so we must become aware of how our actions effect the world we live in and actions we can take to reduce our carbon footprints and ask major organisations to do the same.

This module helps students gain a better understanding of all things climate action, from actions they can take to help the environment themselves, to learning about initiatives companies and organisations around the world are partaking in to become more climate conscious.

Aoife is the Senior Sustainability Consultant at Davy financial solutions, offering advice to organisations on reducing their carbon footprint and contributing to climate action.
