Climate Action Plan 2023.

The "Climate Action Plan 2023" outlines Ireland's strategic approach to addressing climate change through a comprehensive framework that aligns with international agreements and national objectives. It identifies the critical nature of the climate challenge, emphasizing the role of human influence, the impacts of climate change on Ireland, and the European Green Deal's framework. The document sets sectoral targets, including carbon budgets and emissions ceilings, while assessing the effectiveness of existing policies and introducing new measures to meet these targets. It includes a focus on research, innovation, and investment to support systemic transitions across sectors such as electricity, industry, and agriculture. Governance mechanisms, just transition principles, and citizen engagement are central to ensuring equitable and inclusive climate action. The plan also highlights Ireland's long-term vision for climate neutrality by integrating policy monitoring, stakeholder participation, and sustainable development goals into its roadmap.
