2023: Ireland's greenhouse gas emissions reached a 30-year low, decreasing by 6.8%.
2023 saw Ireland's greenhouse gas emissions reach their lowest level in 30 years, decreasing by 6.8%. The reduction was achieved across almost all sectors, with power generation, agriculture, and residential emissions experiencing the most significant declines. However, Ireland remains well off track to meet EU and national 2030 targets, necessitating an annual reduction of 8.3% for 2024 and 2025 to stay within the first Carbon Budget.
