Social Democrats TD says even if Government implements all of its commitments on climate change it will only get to 29% of emissions cuts by 2030, well short of 50% target
Ryan says updated climate plan will show there are shortfalls in some emissions targets“Whereas previously Ireland needed to reduce its non-ETS sector – primarily agriculture, transport and built environment – greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent compared to 2005, that target has now increased to 42 per cent,” he said.
“The Government is failing in being ambitious enough. You have had a year and have failed to add any policy that would result in even a 1 per cent of additional reduction,” she said. Richard Bruton of Fine Gael asked why the NECP had to go out to a second public consultation. “Are we swamped by consultations?” he asked. “Renewable energy seems caught in the planning system. This needs to be part of the public dialogue.”
