Climate Crisis
00:00

In the global fight against climate change, Ireland might see itself as just a minor player, but we have set out our ambitions: halve carbon emissions by 2030, and reach "net zero" by 2050.


Are we on course to achieve those aims? Are those aims even ambitious enough? Episode 6 of The Good Information Podcast looks at whether Ireland is pulling enough of its weight when it comes to addressing the climate crisis.


The Journal reporter Orla Dwyer was on the ground at COP26, and co-authors the monthly Temperature Check newsletter, keeping subscribers up to date on all the latest developments in Ireland's climate policy, and the outlook more globally. In this episode, Orla joins Susan to discuss whether any progress was made at last year's conference, why climate activists were disappointed with the outcome, and what it means for Ireland.
