The National Climate Change Strategy 2007-2012 which I published earlier this week confirms that Ireland will meet its Kyoto Protocol commitments in the period 2008-2012. The Strategy shows clearly the measures by which this will be achieved and how these measures position us for post-2012 emission reductions. It also outlines the areas in which further measures are being researched and developed in anticipation of more demanding greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for 2020 and beyond.
