Ireland to fail 'significantly' to meet emissions cuts set out to combat climate change
Ireland is expected to fail 'significantly' to meet legally binding emissions cuts set out to fight climate change.Their Greenhouse Gas emissions projections from 2022 to 2040 found, even if the country meets all promised measures, a reduction of just 29 per cent will be delivered against a 51 per cent target by 2030.
Transport emissions are projected to fall just 35 per cent, despite its 50 per cent target, with road freight expected to be the big source of transport emissions by 2030. The EPA also highlighted how harvesting the country’s commercial forests up to 2030, will turn them from a carbon sink into carbon sources - causing the Land Use, Land Use Change and forestry sector to rise.
"This underlines the urgency of moving to an economy and society powered by renewable energy sources.
