Irish Government agrees ‘ambitious’ carbon reduction targets

The government is committed to addressing the housing crisis, health reform, and climate change. It has set emissions ceilings for various sectors, aiming for a 51% reduction by 2030. The agriculture sector must cut emissions by 25% by 2030. The government supports farmers in this transition, emphasizing a just and inclusive approach. Young farmers are seen as key players in this effort. The strategy is balanced, requiring cooperation across all sectors to achieve national and global emissions reduction goals.
