The Draft Meath County Council Climate Action Plan also sets out how the Council will promote a  range of mitigation, adaptation, and other climate action measures, to help deliver on the National Climate Obligations and the Government’s overall National Climate Objective, which seeks to pursue and achieve, by no later than the end of 2050, the transition to a climate resilient, biodiversity rich, environmentally sustainable and climate neutral  economy.

“I highly encourage you to take the time to review the draft Climate Action Plan and join us in this momentous effort to create a brighter, more sustainable future for County Meath. Together, let us embrace the challenges ahead with enthusiasm and determination. The journey may be difficult, but with the support of our community, we are committed to making it happen. Let us inspire, lead and act towards a future that we can all be proud of.” Cathaoirleach of County Meath, Cllr Tommy Reilly

 “As an Organisation, we understand that leading by example is crucial, and we are prepared to meet the significant challenges that come with reducing our emissions by 51% and improving our energy efficiency by 50% by 2030. But our commitment doesn’t stop there. We are determined to create an environment that fosters behavioural change at a community level, through active travel infrastructure, social housing retrofitting and circular economy initiatives.” Chief Executive, Meath County Council Fiona Lawless
