Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021
Public bill · Government · Presented
Sets a legal framework for Ireland’s climate response, aiming to reach a climate-neutral, biodiversity-rich and climate-resilient economy by 2050. It would require Government-approved climate plans, five-year carbon budgets, sector-by-sector emissions limits, annual reporting to the Oireachtas, and local authority climate action plans that must be considered in development plans. It also strengthens the Climate Change Advisory Council and widens the kinds of climate and biodiversity projects the Climate Action Fund can support.
