Challenging but achievable: Govt announces 25% emission reduction target for agriculture sector

Weeks of negotiations were not completed before yesterday’s final Cabinet meeting of the summer.

The government previously set out a 22-30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions target for the agriculture sector.

Farming groups pushed for a target at the lower end but climate experts say close to 30% is needed to meet overall emissions targets.

The EPA said last week that Ireland’s 2021 greenhouse gas emissions increased compared to the previous year.
