Seminar overview

Ireland’s energy demands need to meet the objectives of the energy trilemma by being environmentally sound, economically viable and supplied from a secure source. Following on from COP21, and the subsequent Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act (2015), the Government have set out a course to enable the State to pursue, and achieve, the transition to a low carbon, climate resilient and environmentally sustainable economy by  the end of the year 2050. But how will we get there and what are the short to medium term threats and opportunities that we will encounter along the way.

Seminar Aim

  • What the DCCAE’s position is on transitioning to a low carbon economy
  • What options do we have to meet our long term energy and carbon objectives
  • What engineering opportunities are available to us
  • How climate change must influence policy-making in Ireland
