Wexford County Council has prepared their Draft Climate Action Plan 2024-2029 in line with the Government’s overall National Climate Objective, which seeks to pursue and achieve, by no later than the end of 2050, the transition to a climate resilient, biodiversity rich, environmentally sustainable and climate neutral economy to create a low carbon and climate resilient County.

The Draft Plan has been prepared by Wexford County Council in partnership with the Eastern & Midlands Climate Action Regional Office (CARO) together with the South East Energy Agency (SEEA) and with the support of the Climate Change, Biodiversity & Environment Strategic Policy Committee and the Elected Members of Wexford County Council. 

The core targets of Wexford County Councils Draft Climate Action Plan are:

•   51% reduction in the Council’s greenhouse gas emissions by 2030

The actions within this Draft Climate Action Plan include those for which the Council is fully accountable across its own buildings, operations, services, and functions; as well as actions for which the Council will influence, co-ordinate, facilitate and advocate on for climate action.
