Other endeavours to support such international collaboration are contained in S3. Ireland published its Long-Term Renovation Strategy (LTRS) and submitted it to the European Commission in 2020 as required under the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (2018/844/EU) (Recast). Ireland subsequently published the National Retrofit Plan – which builds on and augments the LTRS as part of the Climate Action Plan 2021. This plan (and future National Retrofit Plans) provide further detailed target setting. Ireland is now on a legally binding path to net-Zero emissions no later than 2050, and to a 51% reduction in emissions by the end of this decade under the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Act 2021. The Act provides the framework for Ireland to meet its international and EU climate commitments and to become a leader in addressing climate change. In November 2021, Ireland published its Climate Action Plan 2021. This plan sets a roadmap for taking decisive action to halve our emissions by 2030 and reach net zero no later than 2050.
