Research 513: Assessing Administrative Burdens as Barriers to Implementation of Ireland’s Climate Action Plan

Authors: Cara Augustenborg, Patricia Lentz, Leonhard Lades, Margaret Samahita and Lucie Martin, April 2026

Year: 2026

Using an innovative mixed‑methods approach combining behavioural science and environmental policy, UCD researchers examined administrative factors that delayed implementation of three priority climate action schemes in Ireland, namely, the Afforestation Scheme 2023–2027, the Solar for Schools Programme and the Shared Island Sports Club EV Charging Scheme. The project screened climate actions, audited the three schemes, gathered stakeholder insights and tested behavioural impacts through surveys and experiments. Surveys, experiments and interviews showed reduced stakeholder understanding and engagement due to complex systems, excessive paperwork, poor communication and limited staffing. The findings provide policy actors with practical evidence and recommendations to reduce administrative burdens through more streamlined processes, clearer communication and ‘sludge audits’, supporting more accessible, equitable and effective climate policy delivery in Ireland.
