Public Accounts Committee

2018 Annual Report of the Accounts of the Public Services
Chapter 9 - Greenhouse Gas-Related Financial Transactions: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Brian Carroll:

There is limited technological mitigation potential in agriculture. The limited mitigation potential of agriculture on an EU-wide basis and the importance of food security are recognised in the EU position and the decision published in 2014. These factors were taken account of by the EU in determining our 2030 non-ETS target. The climate action plan identifies emission reduction ranges across all sectors, including agriculture. If we deliver those reductions, we will meet our 2030 target.
