The National Climate Change Strategy 2007-2012 which I published earlier this week sets out the progress towards meeting Ireland's Kyoto Protocol commitments and the preparations being made in anticipation of more demanding greenhouse gas emission reduction requirements in the period post-2012. The Strategy shows that the range of existing and additional measures which have already been developed, will reduce Ireland's greenhouse gas emissions by over 17 million tones of carbon dioxide equivalent in the Kyoto Protocol commitment period 2008-2012. A copy of the Strategy is available in the Oireachtas Library and on my Department's website www.environ.ie.
