THREE PER CENT A YEAR: HOW WILL IRELAND CUT EMISSIONS?

Where: Cultivate, East Essex Street, Dublin

When: Tuesday, January 29th, 8 p.m.

Ireland is committed by international agreements to cutting her climate change emissions by three per cent a year. The current government has set the same target.

And yet there is no indication that emissions are decreasing much at all.

A three per cent reduction would require a turning-around of our economic and social policies. But arguably no party has put forward a strategy radical enough to put our emissions into decline.

Are the parties arguing with each other, or seeking to build all-party agreement?

PEOPLE AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE has invited spokespeople from the six main parties to tell us if we can cut emissions and if so, how?

The spokespeople are:

Simon Coveney, TD, Fine Gael

Bairbre de Brun, MEP, Sinn Fein

Tony Killeen, Minister of State Department of Environment and Local Government, Fianna Fail

Senator Fiona O’Malley, Progressive Democrats

Eamon Ryan, Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources

Joanna Tuffy, T.D. Laboaur

The debate will be chaired by environmental broadcaster, Duncan Stewart

Admission is free
