More than a quarter of Climate Action Plan targets missed

Environment Minister Eamon Ryan said the actions achieved so far in the 2021 Climate Action Plan 'set us on the right path towards emissions reduction, but will also lead to a number of social and economic benefits for people across Ireland'.

More than a quarter of the measures set down in the Government's Climate Action Plan have not been met on time.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said there is now a need "redouble our efforts" to create a cleaner, more sustainable, and climate neutral Ireland, richer in biodiversity, for future generations.
