Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has published its second Annual Progress Report of the Climate Change Action Plan 2019-2024 (CCAP).
The CCAP includes a total of 144 actions across the five themes of Energy & Buildings, Transport, Flood Resilience, Nature Based Solutions, and Resource Management.
An Cathaoirleach, Cllr Lettie McCarthy said: "I welcome the publication of the second Annual Progress Report for our Climate Change Action Plan. My dlr colleagues and I had the honour of welcoming Minister Eamon Ryan TD to our prestigious LexIcon, in September 2021, to officially launch Dublin Climate Action Week. Initiatives such as this remind us that we all have our part to play in tackling climate change – as an individual, as a family, and as a community. I believe that we can all make small choices and changes, leading to bigger, and indeed more challenging choices, that really can have a lasting impact. I wish to acknowledge the ongoing commitment and effort of Council staff, the Environment and Climate Action Strategic Policy Committee and the Elected Members of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council."
The Council continues to mainstream its efforts and collaborate across departments, staff, and Elected Members to achieve energy efficiency and emission reductions across its own buildings, facilities, functions and services, and influence climate action in the wider community.
Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council Director of Infrastructure & Climate Change, Robert Burns, added: "Climate change has no boundaries and we continue to see how its 2 impacts affect our local communities, homes and businesses. In implementing and monitoring their Climate Change Action Plans, the four Dublin local authorities continue to foster a shared approach to enhance the climate resilience of Dublin as a city region. This is undertaken with the continued support and engagement of a range of partners including Government departments, sectoral agencies, the private sector, third level institutions, and groups representing local communities. I wish to thank the Dublin Climate Action Regional Office (CARO) and Codema – Dublin's Energy Agency, for their continued support in delivering and enhancing our local climate actions."
