Fueling Injustice: Ireland’s Fossil Fuel Problem & the case for a fair, funded global phase out
Summary
At present, Ireland is gravely off-track on meeting its climate action commitments – which also fall short of the required action to reflect Ireland’s fair share of the global carbon budget that would keep the world at 1.5 degrees celsius. Ireland needs to greatly increase its climate action ambitions and deliver on them, as a matter of legal obligation, climate justice and human rights.
This report sets out some of the issues, gaps, anomalies and obligations that Ireland needs to confront.
