Leo Varadkar is the former Taoiseach and former leader of Fine Gael. Under his tenure at the top of government, the most substantial climate policies in the history of the state were implemented, but will they enough to bring Ireland from being a "climate laggard" to a climate leader? 

 

For his policy changes, Varadkar chose to reform the Common Agricultural Policy to incentivise more sustainable farming, to make Ireland a leader in Sustainable Aviation Fuel, and to build more electricity interconnection.

 

For his personal changes, he spoke about repairing his clothes to get a longer life out of them, and reducing food waste at home.
