Heads of Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2013: Discussion

6:15 pm

Dr. Brian Ó Gallachóir:

All of the national projections show us falling short of the target. The national projections take into account matters, to which we have committed such as renewable energy targets but some of which do not have associated policies. It is already a challenge to meet the national projections. It is a more significant challenge to go beyond that and meet the 2020 target. From where we are today, I do not think we will meet the 2020 target. We can meet it but it requires a significant increase in a policy focus.
