Climate Action ‘Swap Shop ’ Climate Conversations 2022
To empower everyone in society to help co-design the annual Climate Action Plan the Government of Ireland have established the National Dialogue on Climate Action (NDCA). The NDCA is delivered through an annual programme of events centred around our Climate Conversations. For Ireland to make this transition will require government, business, communities, and individuals working together to deliver new and ambitious policies, technological innovations, and systems and infrastructures. This will also require changes in individual behaviours including how we work, heat our homes, travel, produce our food, consume goods and services, and manage our waste. Ireland is committed to achieving this future through a just transition, meaning all voices will be heard in a fair and equal manner. In Ireland, the 2020 Programme for Government (PfG) committed Ireland to reducing carbon emissions by 51% by 2030 and becoming a carbon neutral country by no later than 2050.
Building on last year, the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications are making sure that they engage with people across all of Ireland, particularly those who are affected by our transition to carbon neutrality. You are invited to be part of this Climate Conversation 2022 and to share your views on the government's climate action and how it can support you to take climate action in your own life. Your views will support the development of the 2022 Climate Action Plan. You don’t need to be a climate expert for your opinion to be valued, we want to hear from as many people as possible and have tried to make the questions as straightforward as possible. If you do have questions, you might find the Climate Jargon Buster useful.
The Climate Conversationis being conducted in line with strict data protection rules, and for this reason is open only to those over 16.
