This report by the National Economic & Social Council (NESC) highlights how the agriculture and land-use sector can address climate change and biodiversity loss. Ireland aims for a climate-resilient, biodiversity-rich, and climate-neutral economy by 2050, with agriculture required to reduce emissions by 25% by 2030.
NESC emphasizes the need to integrate environmental, economic, and social challenges. The transition should be inclusive, involving all stakeholders and focusing on shifts in land management, livestock emissions, and land-use changes like increased forestry and renewable energy.
