Authors: J. Andrew Kelly, Ciaran Deegan, Amy Collins, Angela Milimu, Luke Kelleher and Yanika Farrugia
Summary: This research was carried out by EnvEcon Decision Support and provides guidance for Government on how to monitor and track success in ensuring a fair, inclusive and equitable transition to a low-carbon economy.
The research outlines the following six key domains that are essential for this transition: Energy, Transport & Connectivity, Buildings, Agriculture & Land Use, Employment & Skills, and Participation & Community Engagement.
The key recommendations include:
• Establishing interdepartmental governance with sectoral leads for oversight and periodic reviews.
• Refining and piloting key indicators through stakeholder engagement.
• Enhancing data infrastructure to enable targeted interventions.
• Driving public awareness campaigns to build trust, transparency, and participation in just transition efforts.
By focusing on key areas, implementing interventions, and developing strong indicators, Ireland can advance a fair and just transition to a climate-neutral society.
