Councillor Philip Brady, Cathaoirleach of Cavan County Council has urged citizens of County Cavan to have their say on the local authority climate action plan.

“The plan will set out the mechanisms by which Cavan County Council will enhance climate resilience, increase energy efficiency, and reduce Greenhouse gas emissions across its own assets, services, and infrastructure. It will also demonstrate a broader role of influencing, advocating, and facilitating other sectors to meet their own climate targets and ambitions”.
