My Department's 2023 Climate Action Roadmap, which can be found in Publications at gov.ie, sets out the approach taken towards meeting its obligations under the whole-of-Government Climate Action Plan process, including the range of policy areas involved and their interactions.

In addition, a cross-sectoral Climate Change Oversight Group, comprising expertise across the range of policy and business areas, including medical expertise, which interact with the climate change agenda. These encompass policy areas including public health, emergency management and active lifestyles, and provide a basis for engagement with Government Departments and Agencies to support the achievement of our national climate objectives.
