Climate change as a consequence of global warming is now with us, and the sooner we act the less damage will be done to our society, economy and environment, and to us. The national policy position for Climate Change establishes a vision for Ireland to pursue and achieve, by 2050, the transition to a climate resilient, biodiversity rich, environmentally sustainable and climate neutral economy. This objective will be pursued across the electricity generation, built environment and transport sectors; and in parallel, an approach to carbon neutrality in the agriculture and landuse sectors, including forestry.
