A Climate Action Unit was established in the Department of the Taoiseach in 2019 to support the Taoiseach and Government in dealing with the challenges of climate change and making the necessary transition to a climate-neutral economy.
The Climate Action Unit is part of the Economic Division of my Department.
The Unit plays an important role in ensuring a whole-of-government response to the climate crisis, including strengthening governance and oversight of the implementation of climate policy.
The work of the unit includes monitoring and driving implementation of Climate Action Plans, as well as supporting the Cabinet Committee on the Environment and Climate Change and the Climate Action Delivery Board.
