Public does not believe Ireland can meet 2030 carbon emission targets

Only 6% of survey respondents consider a 51% reduction feasible, says KPMG research

Despite skepticism of Ireland reaching emission targets, 78% of the public support large scale infrastructure projects such as offshore wind energy projects.

There is growing skepticism in Ireland reaching its 2030 carbon emission targets with only 6% of people now believing a 51% reduction is feasible by then.

The '2025 Powering Tomorrow' report from KPMG also found that more than half of the public are not willing to pay higher taxes or energy costs to facilitate energy transition. The survey was carried out for KMPG by Red C Research, taking opinions of more than 1,000 adults in Ireland in November and December.
