Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Joint Meeting with Joint Committee on Environment and Climate Action
Exploring Technologies and Opportunities to Reduce Emissions in the Agriculture Sector: Discussion

Mr. Paul Price:

My view is we have signed the Paris Agreement and it requires us to do things in an equitable way. If we are higher emitters, per capita, of greenhouse gases such as methane, and we are inequitably producing more of them, we must look to produce less. That is what we have signed up to do and what our climate change targets that we have missed look to meet. It is what we have agreed to do. We should remember that Ireland is part of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and this is what we have signed up to do.
