The Climate Action Plan 2021 provides a detailed pathway for taking decisive action to achieve our national economy-wide climate targets for 2030 and 2050, as committed to in the Programme for Government and set out in the Climate  Act 2021. The referenced work was one of a number of pieces of analysis that helped to inform the development and delivery of the Climate Action Plan 2021. Its analysis is particularly reflected in Chapter 4 of the Plan.

The Department is currently in the process of introducing the carbon budget programme and sectoral ceilings, as set out in the Climate Act 2021 and expressed in the Climate Action Plan 2021. Therefore, analysis, including reports from consultants, is still ongoing and, once completed, it can be published, subject to redaction of any commercially sensitive information.
