Ireland is one of the worst European countries for reducing climate damage

The Environmental Protection Agency has reported that Ireland has missed our emission reduction targets for 2020 by more than 12-million tonnes of Carbon Dioxide.

Senior Scientific Officer Stephen Treacy has told KCLR that most other countries have followed through on their promises to cut their emissions and limit the harm they’ve been doing to the environment.
