Followed by a sit-down live interview with Louise Cullen (BBC NI Agriculture and Environment Correspondent)
Northern Ireland is already feeling the effects of a changing climate, and it is crucial that the region contributes to global and UK-wide efforts to address it. The Climate Change Act sets out a clear framework for reducing emissions, guiding Northern Ireland toward meeting the UK’s 2050 Net Zero target. The Act mandates a 100% reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, with interim targets, including a 48% reduction by 2030. This pathway will not only help Northern Ireland lower its carbon footprint but also support the development of a greener, low-carbon circular economy where the environment can thrive and be protected for future generations.
Join DAERA Minister Andrew Muir MLA as he outlines Northern Ireland’s plans and approach for meeting the ambitious targets set by the NI Climate Change Act and the roadmap to net-zero.
