The Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications (DECC) develops and delivers policies and programmes across telecommunications; broadcasting; postal; energy; climate action; waste management and resource efficiency; environmental policy and air quality; noise and radiation protection policy and natural resources.

The DECC vision is for Ireland to become a leader in delivering climate action, achieving environmental sustainability and bringing the opportunities offered by digital communications to all citizens. This long term vision is focused upon transitioning to a prosperous, modern, competitive and carbon neutral economy, underpinned by flexible, well-regulated markets.

Our mission is to develop cross-governmental policies which power economic and social progress, while at the same time improving the environment in a lasting way for future generations.

DECC delivers on its vision and mission by focusing on four key goals:

• Climate Leadership
• Connectivity and Communications
• Environment and Sustainable Resource Use
