As part of the governance and oversight of the Climate Action Plan process, the Department of An Taoiseach publish, on a quarterly basis, progress reports on the status of the actions within the Climate Action Plan (CAP) for 2021 and 2023.

These reports are available online: www.gov.ie/en/publication/55fde-climate-action-important-publications

All actions assigned to the agriculture sector under CAP21 were completed and/or carried over to the CAP23. Similarly, the draft CAP24 which was published on December 20 2023 will build on the actions of CAP23 and/or carry forward any delayed actions. These actions will be progressed and monitored throughout the course of CAP24 as per previous plans.

Under CAP23, there were 53 actions assigned to my Department of which 45 have been successfully completed. The incomplete actions will be prioritised for completion as soon as possible.
