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:

Certainly, in the climate action plan there is no suggestion at all in terms of reduction of herd size. The climate action plan focuses on three things in terms of agriculture. The first the Deputy talked about and that is increasing agricultural efficiency and farm efficiency to reduce emissions. The second is the role of land use, land-use change and so on and the creation of carbon sinks. The third piece is agricultural waste to energy. It is on those three pillars that the climate action plan is based and solely those three pillars.
