Paris proves bold leadership transforms cities. 🌍

From suffocating smog (2007) to clean, green & livable streets (2023):
🚴‍♀️ 100s of km of bike lanes
🌳 Tens of thousands of trees
🚗 Car-free zones & 30 km/h limits

Millions now breathe clean air.
When will we dare to follow? 💪

Such a lovely morning to commute by bike, seems like quite a few agreed with me

Too much science for Simon, too little looking forward by Fianna Fail and Sinn Fein pelted the carbon tax again. A look at last night's leaders debate from a #climate perspective & the questions that could/should have been asked

“How much influence does Michael O’Leary have on Fine Gael climate policy?” – @SarahAMcInerney cuts to the heart of the issue.

Unfortunately, we're no clearer as to the nature of that non-social, non-business dinner between O'Leary and Donohoe. #rtept #GE24

[Conor McNally @conor_mcnally]

This undeclared “private dinner” between Michael O’Leary and Paschal Donohoe took place at a time when Donohoe and his department were involved in contentious EU negotiations on plans to tax jet fuel.

Storms will be more powerful and more frequent as the global average temperature continues to climb as a result of human activities. We can vote on Friday for the politicians who are brave enough to do the right things to protect us all, restore nature, and reduce emissions.

Fine Gael leader Simon Harris was approached during a canvass this evening by a woman who says she is a carer, and who said she believes the Government has "done nothing for us" | follow live: https://t.co/eUoCK3Qb5Y

An election campaign weak on climate doesn't bode well for climate policies in next Govt. Appointing an energetic, committed and knowledgeable climate minister would help, but to take hard decisions, govt parties must be already signed up. https://t.co/olKTOwVClA

There is no suggestion that this major tax reform was discussed when O’Leary and Donohoe met for a “social dinner” in February 2022.

But the idea that they had no business to discuss because Donohoe was not Transport Minister is laughable. (7/7) @JackHoJo https://t.co/5UWQWJVTfo

Talks have since stalled. In September, it was reported that the Hungarian presidency of the European Council was proposing to scrap the jet fuel tax to get the rest of the ETD reform moving again. (6/7) https://t.co/C10BNP4tiY

What is #ClimateAction?

Climate action means investment in public transport, safe walking and cycling routes, home retrofits, clean energy, sustainable agriculture. It means transforming our society for the better.

Here are 7 reasons to demand climate action at #GE24 👇
