OUT OF THIN AIR Daragh Muldowney
In June 2013, the ‘Killary Flyer’ set sail for Greenland from the West of Ireland. Led by an experienced skipper, Jamie Young, the crew was made up of three climbers, four kayakers, a filmmaker and myself, a photographer. Eighteen long days and three wild storms later we arrived in Upernavik, a small Inuit settlement on the island’s west coast. For me, it is a pursuit of beauty, a continuous search for inspiring visions of Nature. Greenland is a place of raw and abundant beauty, one of the few truly wild places left on our planet. I believe in the healing power of Nature. My hope is that these images can connect people to that distant icy shore and share in the profound sense of peace and calm that I felt when capturing each one. Many reports predict that within twenty five years there will no longer be any icebergs along the coast of Greenland. The island’s shrinking glaciers will retreat inland to calve on dry land meaning that soon, the grandeur and overwhelming beauty of the Arctic seascape will be forever changed. North of Disko

2015: A landmark year for climate action and energy transformation Dear Friend, Thank you so much for supporting Friends of the Earth! Supporters like you are the bedrock of our independence and influence. Our campaigning work would be impossible without you. And with your ongoing help 2015 can be a landmark year for climate action and energy transformation. We have brought a Climate Bill to the doors of the Dáil and it will become law before Easter. There is still work to be done to strengthen it in the weeks ahead but even as it stands the Bill will ensure more timely, evidence-based climate policy, and ensure external monitoring and parliamentary accountability. The Government plans to agree a new national energy policy in 2015. We have put community ownership of renewable energy firmly on the agenda and with your help we want them to set out a vision of a fossil-fuel free Ireland by 2050. To achieve that we need to upgrade all our buildings to use less energy; and we need to end the use of peat and coal in electricity generation by 2020,

ban fracking and ramp up renewable energy (solar, wind, biomass) generated locally and owned by communities themselves. 2015 will also see a concerted effort to agree a new global climate deal in the UN talks ending in Paris in December. Pledges by the EU, the US and China in 2014 have given political momentum to the push for a deal, but as yet not one that will cut emissions enough to give us a decent chance of limiting global warming to 2oC, the internationally agreed goal. Friends of the Earth will be pressing not just for fine words on paper but for leaving fossil fuels in the ground at home and around the world. If we are to stay under 2oC of warming we can burn no more than half the world’s reserves of coal, oil and gas. No matter what happens in Paris the new frontline of the struggle for climate justice will be resisting dirty energy and promoting people’s ownership of clean alternatives. We hope you will continue to stand with us. Oisín, Kate, Ciara, Heather, Nicola and Jonathan Your Friends of the Earth team

Friends of the Earth Ireland campaigns for environmental sustainability and global justice. •
We believe in sustainable development - meeting the needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
•
We believe in environmental limits - there are definite limits to what we can take from the natural environment, and to the pollution and waste we can dump into the environment.
•
Within those limits we believe in fair shares of the available environmental space: in particular we are aware that the impacts of damage to the environment hit the poorest in the community the hardest both at home and overseas.
•
We believe in evidence based solutions to environmental problems that make life better for people while protecting the planet for future generations.
•
We believe in promoting people’s action, individual and collective, local, national and international, to tackle the environmental challenges we face.
Friends of the Earth International is the world’s largest grassroots environmental network, uniting 75 national member groups with over 2 million members and supporters around the world.
