Amendment:

1.9.4 The National Climate Action Plan (2019-2024) {2021}

The National Climate Action Plan (CAP) (2019-2024) {2021} (https://www.gov.ie), sets out a course of action to address the impacts of climate change on Ireland’s environment, society, economic and natural resources. The CAP identifies the scale of the challenge and examines impacts on a range of key sectors including electricity, transport, built environment, industry and agriculture and charts a course towards ambitious emission reduction targets.

The CAP recognises the role that Project Ireland 2040 and the NPF can play in climate action in providing for population growth in a compact, connected and sustainable way and the key role that land use planning can play in progressing climate change mitigation and adaption.

(It is recognised that the Government intends to publish a new National Climate Action Plan in the near future. Dublin City Council will consider a variation of the development plan within a reasonable period of time to ensure that the development plan will be consistent with the overall approach to climate action set out in any new National Climate Action Plan.)

{The CAP provides a detailed framework which identifies how Ireland will achieve a 51% reduction in Ireland's overall GHG emissions from 2021 to 2030, and to achieve net-zero emissions no later than 2050. These legally-binding objectives are set out in the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Act 2021.}

• The extended Luas Tram line to Finglas anticipated to be delivered by 2028.
• Metro train line from the city to Dublin Airport and Swords with a targeted delivery date of between 2021 and 2027.)

• {MetroLink from Charlemont to Swords via Dublin Airport, with construction date due to commence during the Development Plan period;
• The Bus Connects programme which includes the following:
  • Dublin Area Bus Network Redesign which provides for significantly enhanced bus services, with a completion by 2024 and
  • The Core Bus Corridor Projects which will provide bus priority on the radial routes, with a completion date by 2030;
• DART+ Programme, with construction to commence during the Development Plan period and
• Luas Finglas with a Railway Order due to be submitted by 2023.
• Greater Dublin Area Cycle Network Plan.}

Over the course of the development plan, it is expected that these key infrastructural projects will either be delivered or be at an advanced stage of design/planning. The alignment of future growth and key public transport infrastructure is a key consideration of the plan.
