In a month's time, Irish delegates will be sitting down with their international counterparts at the UN Conference of the Parties, COP26, in Glasgow to face what is the greatest global challenge of our generation. We will be sitting down with some countries that are emitting less than one tenth of the greenhouse gas emissions of developed countries like our own. Does the Minister expect the Irish climate action plan will be published before then and will we be making a contribution in solidarity with those countries that face much greater difficulties in addressing their development needs in a sustainable way?
