Cost of living main barrier to retrofitting and other sustainable changes — survey

Despite the Government's ambitious targets around retrofitting, the number of people prepared to finance it themselves remains low, the survey showed.

Nearly half of Irish people feel they have now been personally affected by climate change, but measures such as retrofitting homes are still out of reach for the vast majority.

AIB's sixth Sustainability Survey of 1,000 adults found 45% of people have felt the impact of climate change in their lives, a rise of eight percentage points since 2020.
