Abstract

Under Ireland’s Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act, each local authority has been mandated to develop Climate Action Plans addressing both mitigation and adaptation measures. Local Authority Climate Action Plans are expected to further enhance local authorities’ ability to lead, engage, coordinate, and become agents of change in response to the ongoing climate change crisis. To inform those efforts, this report describes the modelling and spatial mapping of Cork City’s baseline GHG emissions for the base year of 2018. It provides a summary of emissions modelled across the six sectors. These include households; road transport; commercial services & industry; public services; agriculture, land use, land use change, forestry & fishing; and waste handling & treatment.
