Dublin is one of five cities to be shortlisted for a prestigious climate innovation award.
The Climathon Global Award is for ambitious projects by cities focused on pressing climate issues.
The capital is currently 2nd in the voting poll, far ahead of other nominations and only beaten by Kharthoum, Sudan.
Dublin City Council's proposal would tackle flood management, aiming to reduce flood risks and reduce energy usage at wastewater pumping stations.
The proposal was shortlisted from dozens of cities nominated around the world, with only five shortlisted for the award.
If the council wins the award, they could receive funding and support from global experts on implementing the project.
The actions of activists like 12 year old coastal crusader Flossie Donnelly have helped raise Dublin's awareness and global standing in addressing climate issues.
The winner of the nominated cities will be decided by public vote on January 31st.
