THE EUROPEAN GREEN DEAL: FUTURE-PROOFING ENERGY IN IRELAND

The Minister will also provide an analysis of Ireland’s current energy framework, including the Irish government’s commitment to 7% average yearly reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade. The impact of the European Green Deal and the increased scale and depth of Ireland’s decarbonisation ambitions will require changes in many parts of Irish life, and Minister Ryan will chart Ireland’s course to a clean energy future.
