Speeches By President Of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins

President Higgins hosted a reception in support of the "Laudato Tree" project. Inspired by Pope Francis' 2015 environmental encyclical "Laudato Si" and the "Great Green Wall" project across 11 African countries, the "Laudato Tree" project aims to build support for climate action and tree planting, in Ireland and the Sahel region.
