Climate Change Advisory Council, Annual Review 2022

The mission of the Climate Change Advisory Council is to provide independent evidence-based advice and recommendations on policy to support Ireland’s Just Transition to a biodiversity-rich, environmentally sustainable, climate-neutral and resilient society. It is also tasked with assessing the progress made towards this goal via an Annual Review. This 2022 Annual Review considers the progress of Ireland’s national climate goals in 2021 – the first year of the Carbon Budget 2021-2025 – and its structure reflects the delineation of the Carbon Budget 2021-2030 into sectoral ceilings. It updates our understanding of Ireland’s resilience to climate change through climate change mitigation and adaptation actions and presents a review of progress in respect of national and EU targets at a national and sectoral level.
