Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Empowering Local Government and Local Communities to Climate Action: Discussion

Ms Justina Corcoran:

The climate action plans the local authorities will have to produce, with the mitigation and adaptation actions in them, will all be measurable. They are establishing a baseline for emissions and they will report on those periodically as well, so we will be able to measure that delivery and the implementation similarly to how we do it at the national level on the climate action plan.
