Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

COP26 and its Potential Impact on the Developing World: Discussion

Ms Louise Finan:

I thank the committee for inviting us to attend. It has been wonderful to get this opportunity. I do not think I can put anything more passionately or strongly than our speakers did. They have given the committee good reason to understand the urgency of why we need to act. We ask it to continue to follow this issue closely. Post COP 26, it should organise a session to which it invites in the Government and civil society to analyse what happened at the conference, what needs to happen and what the impact will be. That is our key ask from today. I thank members for their time, attention and focus on one of the greatest issues facing mankind.
