With ambitious targets being set by The Southern Region Assembly for renewable energy, a multi-faceted approach is necessary. To achieve this, buy in will be required from a number of stakeholders from the public sector, private sector and community groups.
This webinar highlights the renewable energy targets set for the country, and the region while also discussing how we plan to achieve these targets and the challenges that need to be overcome. In this webinar, we look at the steps being taken to develop a renewable energy strategy so the region can move towards a low-carbon, sustainable economy and eventually, net zero emissions.
Speakers include key policy setters like Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications Eamon Ryan, and Chief Executive of Tipperary County Council Joe MacGrath. As well as industry experts such as Chairperson of Renewable Energy Ireland Marie Donnelly and the Assistant Director for Southern Regional Assembly Kevin Lynch.
