The Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Act 2021 frames Ireland\u2019s legally binding climate ambition to deliver a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 51% by 2030. To secure this sustainable future for the citizens of Monaghan, the Council has prepared this Climate Action Plan for the period 2024 to 2029 to create a low carbon and climate resilient county, by delivering and promoting best practice in climate action in Co.
