Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Carbon Budgets: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Brian Carroll:

The analysis of the Climate Change Advisory Council, CCAC, proposal, is ongoing. The Minister is awaiting input from the committee once its deliberations are complete and is also consulting with other Ministers and the public. We will be in a better position to comment on numbers once that analysis is complete and we have received all of the input. All I can say is the overarching objective as set out in the legislation is 51% by 2030 and an average of 7% per annum over the decade, which is based on all emissions - land and non-land - from 2018. I am very happy to revert to the Senator with a written note, if helpful, and to receive any calculations the Senator might have as input into that analysis.
