Climate Change

The then Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Alan Kelly, T.D., announced the publication of the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC) defines adaptation as "any adjustment in natural or human systems, in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli, or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities".

Mitigation refers to the policies and practices necessary to reduce the rate of greenhouse gas emissions associated with all social & economic activity.
