People Urged To Help Develop New Climate Action Plan
People across Northern Ireland are being urged to inform the country's response to the threats presented by climate change.
The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) has launched the first of three public consultations to inform NI's Carbon Budget, with its finding being used to set an agreed carbon budget and targets and help develop the first Climate Action Plan.
In June, DAERA launched NI's first ever consultation on Carbon Budgets for 2023-2027, 2028-2032 and 2033-2037 as well as the interim targets that should be set for 2030 and 2040 for reductions in greenhouse gases. A carbon budget sets the maximum amount of greenhouse gas emissions over a given period of time.
DAERA is also seeking views through the consultation on the UK Climate Change Committee (CCC), recommended Path to Net Zero for Northern Ireland and is keen to hear from individuals, businesses, communities, and other organisations from across Northern Ireland.
The 16-week consultation runs until 11 October 2023 and can be accessed on the DAERA website.
