Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion
2:00 pm
Ms Laura Behan:
We are currently at approximately 12.2 megatonnes in terms of transport emissions in Ireland, all of which are in the non-ETS. We have a national target to meet by 2030, which is a 30% reduction on 2005 levels of all of our non-ETS emissions. Every sector will be required to play its part in achieving that 30% reduction. We have always believed, and it has always been acknowledged, that there needs to be a least-cost approach to reducing non-ETS emissions. Measures should be deployed in the order and timeframes that are most cost-effective to achieve the transition that we need.
