Global emissions will rise 16% by 2030 compared with\n                            2010, based on existing climate pledges.

Our global goal should\n                            be to transform how we live into a sustainable society, keeping our planet within the crucial boundaries to keep our environment stable. All the evidence highlights that most of the necessary tools are within our grasp, but\n                            urgent action is needed.<\/p>\n                          <p>Energy<\/p>\n                          <p>Growth based on fossil fuels and natural resource extraction, are destabilising our entire planet and polluting our air, soil and water.

Electrification helps other sectors to decarbonise \u2013 eg home heating, manufacturing or\n                            electric vehicles (EVs). Storage of electricity in batteries is also crucial, in particular when considering renewable energy generation and the unpredictability of energy sources such as wind, tides or waves. Additionally\n                            a more refined electrical grid is needed to transmit power between countries, particularly those who struggle with renewable energy generation.<\/p>\n                          <p>Irish bogs<\/p>\n                          <p>Ireland\u2019s bogs make up an internationally important biosphere, yet they emit 4 million tonnes of CO2 a year, when they could switch from emitter to carbon store through rewetting and rehabilitation.<\/p>\n                          <p>Agriculture and land-use<\/p>\n                          <p>Our global food system requires transformation in order to achieve our climate goals, which has big impacts for Ireland where we export food. In particular is methane production from farms; methane traps 80 times more heat than\n                            CO2 in short-term (20 years), presenting the opportunity for a quick-win.
