Summary
Ireland’s climate goals are in serious trouble, with new projections showing even the most ambitious plans will only cut emissions by 23% by 2030 — far short of the 51% target. The EPA warns that key sectors like transport, industry, and buildings are on track to miss targets, and delays in critical energy projects and unproven initiatives like green hydrogen are worsening the outlook. While EU carbon credits offer a tiny boost, they’re unreliable and insufficient. With less than four years to go, the message is clear: action now or face fines — and the rewards of hitting targets include cleaner air, less fossil fuel dependence, and a healthier population.
