Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Irish Experience of Community-led Climate Action: Public Participation Networks
Mr. Charles Stanley-Smith:
I have been talking about this for a number of years. Each county is doing LECPs. The important part of those will be key performance indicators, KPIs. Within the SDGs we have KPIs. We do not want to end up with a difference in that regard. There is a framework there. If it were possible for the LECPs to merge into the SDGs, there would then be the business of being able to have a common set of KPIs. That would be very useful. We are discussing our LECP. It is very useful, as Ms Clancy mentioned, to be able to compare with Clare on a particular thing. It is very difficult to find out that information - not that we want to beat Clare. We will talk about hurling another day. Clare is doing lots of good stuff and we are doing lots of good stuff. How do we share that around? I know that the council people are talking to one another on LECPs, but the opportunity to bring together that knowledge, from which we will hang a great many other policies, is very important.
