Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 pm

Dr. Pierre-Marie Aubert:

I have a feeling the Deputy made many comments with which I would agree on the food budget and waste, as well as the fact that transformation will be led by innovators, entrepreneurs and businesses. That must be acknowledged but the incentives must be correct for those businesses, entrepreneurs and innovators to do their job. This is a policy perspective. There are policy options with the food budget issue that would allow people to dedicate a larger share of their budget for healthy and climate-friendly food. Professor Masson-Delmotte will deal with chapter five of the special report, dealing with sustainable development and climate change.
