Climate Camp Ireland will take place in west Clare from the 7-9th August 2026. Take action and join us!
Slí Eile hosts the Climate Camp together with a range of community groups and campaigns. The Camp is an anti-capitalist, all-Ireland, family-friendly gathering, which features workshops and debates, direct action training, practical skill-sharing, music, art, craic and more.
We build upon a long tradition of solidarity camps, dating back to the Peace Camps of the 1970s-’80s: one that models the society we need, beyond capitalism, bringing people together to build a strong and radical climate movement on the island of Ireland.
Focus of Climate Camp 2026
The 2026 camp is co-organised with frontline community campaigns resisting the extractive industries that cause so much harm to the environment around the Shannon Basin — connecting the struggles against US military use of Shannon Airport, LNG terminals, data centre expansion, mining and water extraction from the River Shannon.
The camp will act as a central meeting point of resistance-building on the island of Ireland. It will be a space of connection, allowing for people, communities and groups from across the island and beyond to come together to learn from each other and build common plans for working together in the future.
About Slí Eile
Slí Eile is the organisational group involved with the climate camp. We began in 2019, emerging loosely from the tradition of climate camps. We are building a movement on the island of Ireland to resist climate change and its driving force, capitalism. We target the powerful interests that are causing the climate crisis while profiting from the current economic system. We are organising for the transformation of our communities and the wider world into one based on equality and solidarity.
Our Aims
We believe in the power of self organised communities to create the new systems we need. We need to take urgent strategic action to resist climate and ecological destruction.
We have three aims:
- To create spaces for education, for ourselves and our wider communities
- To build a radical climate movement on the island of Ireland.
- To act to end capitalist control of people and the earth
