Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Empowering Local Government and Local Communities to Climate Action: Discussion
Ms Justina Corcoran:
The current national climate action plan of 2021 has 109 actions for which local authorities are the leader or key stakeholder for delivery. There will still be things coming from the transport chapter down to what needs to be done by local authorities and what needs to be done in particular areas. There are national and local ones. I do not think all that responsibility is going on the local authorities for delivery. I do not think that is in the scope of the local authority plans.
