The local government sector in Ireland has a strategy to deliver effective climate action.
Local government is identified as key to delivering on Ireland’s national Climate Action Plan and each local authority has expressed their commitment to driving and leading this change by signing a Local Authority Climate Action Charter.
The new strategy, Delivering Effective Climate Action 2030 is a roadmap for the entire local government sector to deliver on those commitments.
It applies a common vision for the sector and sets out solid objectives for local authorities to work towards in order to maximise their collective impact on Ireland’s national climate targets.
In consultation with the sector, the vision, mission, and objectives of this strategy were developed to support local authorities to enhance and maximise the leadership role they have already assumed in addressing climate change.
The strategy will be implemented by the local authority sector up to 2030.
