                        Environmental NGOs call time on government-sanctioned environmental destruction

                        An Taisce welcomes the decision of the Environmental Pillar, of which An Taisce is an active member, to resign from the Agri-Food 2030 Committee. We join the Pillar in denouncing the strategy produced by this committee as entirely inadequate to meet the social and environmental challenges facing us.

                        CETA and the Investor Court System - No legal basis or need to have such a court

                        Ireland has much to lose if the Investor Court System is setup with impacts for health, environment, equality and employment standards.

                        Sliabh Beagh farmer nominated for Farming for Nature award

                        Pat McKenna, who runs an eco-grazing scheme on the An Taisce lands at Sliabh Beagh, has been nominated for a Farming for Nature award. His low-impact method uses Dexter cattle, a breed that is well-suited to that environment. Pat has been working closely with the Collaborative Action for the Natura Network (CANN) project, funded through Interreg, to ensure that activities are in line with habitat information and conservation actions through this initiative.

                        Irish water quality trends in the wrong direction

                        The EPA released the Water Quality in 2019 report today, indicating that over one third of rivers and a quarter of lakes are failing to meet their environmental quality standards for nutrients, with serious consequences for the health of Irish waters.

                        Ireland still among Europe’s climate laggards – new study

                        Despite improvements in our use of renewable energy, Ireland remains among the worst in Europe on overall climate action, according to the newly released 2021 Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) Index of almost 60 states.

                        Today’s Pre-Legislative Scrutiny on the draft of the Climate Bill 2020 by the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Climate Action makes important recommendations to help shore up what has been widely criticised as a flawed and problematic Climate Bill.

                        CETA Vote Imperils Irish Climate and Nature Action

                        At Saturday’s extraordinary general meeting of An Taisce, members across the country expressed outrage that such an important matter would be rushed through the Dail. They called for TDs to postpone the vote to ratify the agreement which would mean Ireland would be saying yes to the investment protection mechanism and called for the Government to allow proper time for public debate and scrutiny.

                        Climate Bill 2020 currently not fit for purpose

                        The Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2020 as it is currently constituted, is not fit for purpose and requires radical and extensive amendments, according to An Taisce’s formal submission to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Climate Action

                        We are lucky in Ireland to be surrounded by areas of natural and historical beauty. An Taisce has been gifted some of these areas over the past 70 years to maintain for the public. We also protect the environment through our role in the planning process and by drawing attention to immediate global threats like climate change. Our goal is 250 monthly giving supporters like you who care about protecting our environment and heritage for our children, grandchildren and future generations. Thank you!
