Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Reduction of Carbon Emissions of 51% by 2030: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Stephen Douglas:

Yes, and thank you for picking up on the point. There is very good political buy-in on the new narrative on climate action. This Oireachtas joint committee is a good example of that. At the public level, perhaps the awareness of what we need to do and the infrastructure we need to decarbonise might not be there. There is an opportunity there for political leadership and for leadership from sectors such as ours to help in that process. It is about linking the need - why we are doing it and the so what.
