EPA saying climate targets will not be met.

EPA ag rá nach mbainfear amach spriocanna aeráide.

'This country will not meet or risk meeting its goals by 2030 in terms of reversing climate change unless significant changes are implemented' says the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

'Ní bhainfidh an tír seo amach a cuid spriocanna ná baol air faoi 2030 i dtaca le hathrú na haeráide a chur ar gcúl mura gcuirtear athruithe suntasacha i bhfeidhm' a deir an Ghníomhaireacht um Chosaint Comhshaoil (EPA).

'If the policies and policies in relation to combating climate change are fully implemented as currently laid down, there would be a 29% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2030' says the organisation.

'Má chuirtear na polasaithe agus na beartais i dtaca le dul i ngleic leis an athrú aeráide i bhfeidhm go hiomlán mar atá leagtha síos faoi láthair,is 29 faoin gcéad de laghdú a thiocfadh ar astaíochtaí gás ceaptha teasa faoin mbliain 2030' a deir an eagraíocht.

51% is the legal target.

51 faoin gcéad an sprioc atá ann de réir dlí.

The EPA says that all sectors must make comprehensive and rapid reductions in their emissions and greenhouse gases.

Deir an EPA go gcaithfidh gach earnáil laghdú cuimsitheach a dhéanamh go tapa maidir lena gcuid astaíochtaí agus gásanna nimhneacha.
