As Europe builds infrastructure and allocates scarce grid capacity, the Irish Presidency has an opportunity to help ensure that electrification is governed in the public interest, supports affordability and remains anchored in renewable energy. 💡

Tomorrow Ireland will host an Informal Meeting of Environment and Climate Ministers from across Europe to explore how climate action, electrification and industrial competitiveness can be advanced together to strengthen Europe's economic resilience, strategic autonomy and long-term prosperity. 👀

❌Ireland fails to outline a clear timeline or actions for phasing out direct fossil fuel subsidies. What next? ✅ Ireland must close the contribution gap to ensure it is delivering their share. First step? Update plans with adequate figures.

ejni.bsky.social @ejni.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

❌ Ireland is not projected to achieve their binding ESR target (requiring MS to reduce domestic GHG emissions covered by the ESR regulation) and the NECP outlines a gap of more than 16%-points. ❌Ireland’s planned or existing policy mix will not be sufficient to meet their national LULUCF targets.

🟠 Correlation between Ireland's air pollution and failure to address both energy and transport poverty 🟠Based on the recs of the UN Special Rapporteur on HR and the Environment, there is a strong human rights argument for Ireland to adopt the WHO AQG values as ‘legally binding standards’.
