Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

COP27: Discussion

Ms Siobhan Curran:

On a point that relates to people's understanding of COP, one thing that can bring people along is the global dimension to this and pulling back from a narrow domestic focus all the time. This is a global crisis. When we place Ireland's action within what is needed globally, the picture of the scale of the crisis and the urgency that is needed becomes a little clearer.
