A new report from the Environmental Protection Agency reveals that Ireland is unlikely to meet its 2030 greenhouse gas reduction targets. Even with full implementation of current policies, emissions are projected to drop by only 25 percent, far short of the 51 percent reduction goal compared to 2018 levels. The findings highlight critical gaps in the transport, industry, and building sectors. Additionally, the EPA has downgraded projections for offshore wind and noted delays in key interconnectors, suggesting that current climate action plans lack a realistic pathway to success.
