Half of Irish adults see no need to change their diet or reduce driving to combat climate change, according to new research from the ESRI. The study, funded by the Environmental Protection Agency, suggests that the government must address the high emissions cost of eating meat and improve public transport options to help combat climate change. 47% of participants indicated they saw no need to cut down on meat, while nearly a third have no intention of using their car less and a quarter cannot do so.
