A unified reference for advocacy, coordination, and policy development across the Environmental Pillar network
Over the past decade, the Pillar has developed a suite of detailed policy submissions, position papers, and budget recommendations. These include responses to national consultations on the Climate Action Plan, carbon budgets, and environmental taxation, as well as annual pre-budget submissions and, most recently, the Manifesto for a Sustainable, Resilient and Equitable Ireland (2024) and Budget 2026: Actions to Support a Fair, Just and Effective Transition for People and Planet.
Each of these documents articulates critical components of a transformative agenda. However, their breadth also makes it challenging for internal and external audiences to see the full coherence of the Pillar’s vision.
This Climate Policy Consolidation therefore brings together the key recommendations and thematic priorities into one structured reference document.
