2024 State of the Environment Report

The Environmental Protection Agency has published its 2024 State of the Environment Report.

“This is the eighth State of the Environment report spanning over 30 years. It provides the most comprehensive assessment of Ireland’s environment to date. This Report provides the public, policymakers, non-governmental organisations, community groups, businesses and others with the evidence base to help them make informed decisions about what they can do to help protect and improve our environment.”

“The 2024 State of the Environment Report provides an integrated assessment of the overall quality of Ireland’s environment, the pressures being placed on it and current responses to environmental issues.  This report, published every four years and the eighth in the series, covers climate change, air quality, noise, water quality (both inland and in the marine), land use, soil and nature.  It includes four integrated assessments of the environment with industry, transport, energy and agriculture and also looks at the important interactions between the environment and health and the circular economy.”
