The Irish government has announced its commitment to supporting the country’s biodiversity, including efforts to counter the threat posed by climate change.
Details of a plan to slow biodiversity loss were released on 21 February on the second day of a two-day event at Dublin Castle attended by government officials, non-governmental organisations, landowners and industry representatives.
