Publish an annual climate action plan

What this means

• The Irish government has committed to publishing a climate action plan every year to set out how Ireland will meet its carbon budgets and sectoral emissions limits.[source]
• This commitment comes from the 2025 Programme for Government and is currently in progress, with no fixed deadline publicly stated.[source]
• The Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, led by Darragh O'Brien, is responsible for delivering this commitment.[source]
• Each annual plan is meant to spell out the specific measures required across different sectors of the economy to stay within agreed emissions limits.[source]
• Publishing a plan each year allows the public and lawmakers to track whether the government is on course to meet its legally binding climate targets.[source]
