Nature and Sustainability
Ireland is a fertile island with a temperate climate on the western edge of Europe.
Ireland is committed to the long term transition to a circular economy which, through sustainable resource use, will protect and restore our natural environment, mindful of the significant challenge in doing so.
Ireland’s commitment to protecting the natural environment extends beyond domestic concerns as evidenced by our commitment to supporting developing countries and Small Island Developing States facing disproportionate economic and environmental vulnerabilities.
