I move amendment No. 37:

In page 7, line 32, after “warming,” to insert the following: “engage with all other governments to agree the implementation of global greenhouse gas emissions objectives, set out agreed targets using latest technological advances, either through strategic alliances or treaties to ensure Irish people are not disproportionately impacted by a strategy that will do little or nothing to address the annual overall global greenhouse emissions or move towards a climate resilient, biodiversity rich and environmentally, socially, economically and just climate economy (in this Act referred to as the ‘national climate objective’),”.

The amendment reads "engage with all other governments to agree the implementation of global greenhouse gas emissions objectives, set out agreed targets using latest technological advances, either through strategic alliances or treaties to ensure Irish people are not disproportionately impacted by a strategy that will do little or nothing to address the annual overall global greenhouse emissions or move towards a climate resilient, biodiversity rich and environmentally, socially, economically and just climate economy". The Minister might make a statement on that.
