Climate Action Plan

‘Securing our Future’

‘Climate Action Plan – Securing Our Future’ is an ambitious plan that will help all of us make the changes – big and small – needed to protect our planet and protect our future.

Fine Gael taking action on Climate Change

Fine Gael, as the lead party in the 2016 – 2020 government, established a Citizens’ Assembly on Climate Action, followed by an All-Party Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action. The work of the Assembly and the Special Committee culminated in the first whole-of-government ‘Climate Action Plan to tackle Climate Breakdown’ in 2019. An ambitious plan, it set out actions across energy, transport, waste, agriculture and enterprise, among others.

Through the Plan, we introduced carbon budgets and sectoral targets, set up the Climate Action Delivery Board in the Department of Taoiseach, set up an independent Climate Action Advisory Council, and put climate action at the heart of government policies such as Ireland’s International Development Plan – a Better World.

We’ve also ensured that the concept of a ‘Just Transition’ continues to be central to our country’s plan, recognising that climate change can have a disproportionate impact on some sectors and communities.
