Launching the Government's updated Climate Action Plan, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said this generation should be the one that turns the tide on climate change and biodiversity loss
Launching the Government's updated national Climate Action Plan today, Mr Varadkar said we must prepare ourselves for the adverse effects of climate change.
"We should not see climate action as an obligation or a burden. We should embrace it as an opportunity. "We can reap the rewards for our people that come with it - greater energy security, stable prices, new industries producing green fertilisers and green hydrogen, more jobs and regional development."
Minister Ryan said that to"stay ahead of the climate curve", Ireland must implement its plans"urgently". He said the shift to active travel and public transport to account for half of all journeys will bring huge improvements for everyone, but this will require a threefold increase in the provision of public transport services.
