Welcoming the National Mitigation Plan on climate change, but also noting the lack of urgency and identifiable pathways outlined in the plan, as well as our dependency on foreign imports of energy, calls on the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, and Taoiseach, to work together constructively to ensure:
- All new buildings are required to be built to passive house standard by 2025;
- All new cars and vans in built or imported into Ireland will be zero emission by 2025, with an emphasis on promoting electric vehicles and a related charging infrastructure;
- At least 30% of all electricity to be provided by solar PV by 2025, including related storage systems and incentives for microgeneration and selling back to the grid at domestic and business level to be provided as well as Government partnership investment in large-scale solar farms; and
- Incentives for any Irish-based enterprise showing innovation and job creation potential in the above areas.
