Wealthier nations that produce the lion\u2019s share of carbon emissions have a responsibility not to inflict irreparable damage in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSimply writing a cheque will not protect poorer countries from the devastating consequences of climate change in the long-term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAcross the entire EU, we need systemic change in how we consume energy, how we travel and how we farm. This is the only way we can cut back on our carbon emissions and reduce global warming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Ireland, this will mean investing heavily in solar and offshore wind energy. We also need to incentivise public transport usage and get serious about biodiversity conservation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reality is that this Government\u2019s report card on climate change is not good. Our overall emissions went up last year and we have the second highest carbon emissions in the EU.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the success of COP27 on the issue of loss and damage, there can be no room for complacency. The Minister needs to redouble his efforts if Ireland has any chance of achieving the targets set out in the Government\u2019s Climate Action Plan by 2030.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>November 29, 2022<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minister needs to redouble efforts to achieve carbon reduction targets The agreement reached on a loss and damage fund for poorer countries at COP27 should not distract the Government from its climate change responsibilities, according to Social Democrats TD Jennifer Whitmore.
