Ecology in Ireland

At a time when awareness of the state of the planet is increasingly present in people’s minds, Ireland is making ecology its new hobbyhorse. Reducing CO2 emissions, responsible consumption, promoting organic products… the Irish government is speeding up its energy transition…

A battle to be waged over several years

Ambitious goals that need to become reality

Will Ireland go electric? Will it rationalize its car fleet and penalize its polluting industries? Will it accelerate alternative consumption patterns?

All these questions have one aim: to reduce the country’s CO2 emissions over the next 10 years.

These prospects will require time, commitment and a collective effort. Ireland seems to be becoming increasingly aware of ecological issues, and of the dangers posed by climate change.

The many storms Ireland has experienced in recent years demonstrate that the Irish coastline is under increasing threat, and that action must be taken.

This is what the country’s current actions seem to demonstrate.
