I commend the Taoiseach on the genuine and effective leadership he showed on the international stage last week. He told the international community that we do not have a minute to lose in our efforts to combat climate change. There is a missing piece in this country in how we communicate the importance of climate change to our communities across the country. Climate action at ground level means bringing in different policies that affect people's lives. This may relate to land, transport, bus lanes and cycle lanes. These are very difficult and challenging problems at local level. There is a link between that action and addressing the worst impacts of climate change. We are missing a piece in how we communicate the importance of climate action at the local level.
