Catherine Conlon: Is the sleeping climate change giant of the Arctic waking up?

The Climate Action Plan 2023 was launched this week and outlines the actions that must be followed to meet our targets of halving greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.

This includes reducing total distance travelled in car journeys by 20%, and for one in three cars to be electric vehicles.
