The Climate Change Advisory Council warns that failing to act on emissions reduction will bring "profound costs to the Irish economy and to the people of Ireland." This stark message emphasizes the urgent need for transformation to avoid detrimental impacts on society.
There's limited room left for further sales of petrol and diesel vehicles, with ideally, sales of new private cars on these fuels needing to end next year, underlining the necessity of a rapid transition to sustainable alternatives.
The council describes the required shift in energy policy as "the most significant change since the foundation of the State", indicating the magnitude of the transformation needed to meet emissions targets.
With 83% of Ireland's energy needs covered by fossil fuels, the council's call for a 90% reduction in energy-related emissions by 2040 highlights the scale of challenge and urgency in moving towards a sustainable energy infrastructure.
