Responses and submissions sought from experts, research organisations and other groups that work in areas relating to climate, environment and energy

The Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Eamon Ryan TD, today launched the Call for Expert Evidence 2022. This call seeks evidence-based responses and submissions from experts, research organisations and other such groups/individuals that work in areas relating to climate, environment and energy.

These responses and submissions will help to support and inform the process being undertaken to prepare Climate Action Plan 2023, which is due to be published later this year.

The Call for Expert Evidence forms part of the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communication’s Climate Conversation 2022, which invites people from all over the country to have their say on how we can all play our part in securing our sustainable future.

Commenting on the launch of the Call for Expert Evidence 2022, Minister Ryan said:

“A robust and up-to-date knowledge base of the latest scientific research is crucial for developing actions that can guide us towards the best approaches for achieving our climate goals. I strongly encourage those undertaking research, analysis and modelling in the areas of climate, environment and energy to engage with this Call for Expert Evidence and support us, as we seek to ensure that our climate action is informed by the latest scientific evidence.”
