Tomorrow afternoon, the Joint Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy will convene at Leinster House to scrutinise Ireland’s strategic contribution to the upcoming COP31 climate negotiations. The session, scheduled for 12:30pm in Committee Room 3, aims to equip committee members with expert insights ahead of Ireland’s delegation to the international summit. Deputy Naoise Ó Muirí TD, Chair of the committee, emphasised the importance of hearing directly from those on the frontlines of climate impacts.
Stakeholders including GIY, Trócaire, Christian Aid, Professor John Sweeney and ActionAid will address the committee, outlining the stark realities of climate change both domestically and internationally. Their contributions will focus on critical areas such as declining food security, the erosion of horticultural sectors and the disproportionate burden borne by communities in the global south. These perspectives are expected to influence Ireland’s negotiating position at COP31, ensuring a balanced and evidence-based approach.
The meeting forms part of a broader programme of engagement designed to model Ireland’s commitment to climate leadership. Further details and the full agenda are available on the official Oireachtas website, providing transparency for stakeholders and the public alike.
