That is according to OECD Director Rodolfo Lacy, who presented its 2020 Environmental Performance Review for Ireland.
Presenting the review, Mr Lacy said current mobility patterns are a major source of emissions in Ireland and the Government should gradually increase the tax rate on diesel to match petrol as diesel is a more polluting fuel. The report also welcomed increased Government investment in green measures such public transport, active travel and renewable energy but said it will need to mobilise private finance to achieve sustainable growth targets.
Mr Ryan said that in both agriculture and transport the move to greener practices will result in better systems.
