Community Law and Mediation is running a webinar on Thursday April 3rd from 12-1pm on Ireland's proposed carbon budgets from 2031-2040.

Ireland's Climate Change Advisory Council has provided recommended carbon budgets from 2031-2040 to the Government. Carbon budgets limit the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions that can be released in Ireland during this period. A public consultation is set to open on the carbon budgets soon.

Join us to discuss the scientific adequacy of the carbon budgets, Ireland's legal obligations in adopting carbon budgets, and the role of activism and civil society in ensuring that our carbon budgets are fair and ambitious. We are delighted to be joined by the below expert speakers:

He is a regular contributor to print and broadcast media on matters related to climate change science and policy and received the inaugural award for achievements in journalism from the European Meteorological Society in 2014.
