Friends of the Earth Briefing on Climate Action for Programme for Government negotiations

In relation to negotiations on Government formation, this briefing provides information for TDs and political parties on Ireland’s climate obligations, progress towards these obligations,and policy measures that must be prioritised in a new Programme for Government to ensure that the transition to a climate neutral economy leaves no one behind.

It is essential that the new Government leads the transformation of society in away that not only reduces polluting emissions and rids Ireland of reliance on dirty, expensive fossil fuels, but also takes action against poverty and inequality. A new Programme for Government must set Ireland on a clear path to meeting, in a just and equitable manner, our legally binding climate obligations.
