Delivering on our climate ambition requires that the government and the people of Ireland come together in a strengthened social contract for climate action and the co-creation of real solutions to these challenges. The National Dialogue on Climate Action (NDCA) is led by the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications and delivers an annual programme, including broad public consultation, engagement activities, and robust social and behavioural research, to deliver this two-way dialogue and inform the annual Climate Action Plan and wider sectoral policy. It is comprised of government departments and agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), and the Local Authority sector, and also includes input from a wide range of experts, as well as insights from ongoing active engagement with stakeholders and the wider public. The National Youth Assembly on Climate is a key milestone in the delivery of the annual NDCA programme.
