Ireland needs a ‘one-stop-shop’ to hit climate targets, PwC report claims
The report said the Government needs to connect entrepreneurs, regulators and investors together to support the growing climate tech sector.
Climate Response Working Group - La Vie en Vert
It is clear that human society is having an impact on our planet and its climate. We need to take action to mitigate this impact.
The France Ireland Chamber of Commerce counts many companies among its members - many of whom are leading the way and taking their own actions to mitigate climate impact.
This Working Group’s scope will be to work to harness that action towards a more cohesive awareness and positive effect in Irish business society.
