Consultation on Ireland’s Social Climate Plan Launched
Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment, Darragh O’Brien, has launched a public consultation on the development of Ireland’s Social Climate Plan.
Over the lifetime of the Plan (2026-2032), Ireland can recoup up to 75% of the cost of eligible measures within the Plan (to a maximum of €663 million) from the EU Social Climate Fund. The focus of the Plan is investment in long-lasting, socially-fair measures aimed at supporting those who may be most vulnerable to energy and transport poverty arising from our transition towards clean mobility and a decarbonised built environment.
In the development and implementation of this Plan, the Government is committed to developing robust and high-quality measures, guided by meaningful stakeholder input, to ensure that the funds are appropriately targeted to those most at risk from energy and transport poverty, such as vulnerable households, transport users and micro-enterprises. This first, of two consultations, is designed to capture information on what the public and stakeholders see as the priorities for investment under this Plan.
The English language version of this consultation will run for a period of six weeks until Thursday 23 October and is available at the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/SCP-Ireland-2025.
