1) The EPA is responsible for producing Ireland's national greenhouse gas emission inventories and projections, which are submitted to the EU and UN. 2) Ireland's greenhouse gas emissions increased by 27% between 1990-2010 but have decreased by 9% from their peak in 2000. Emissions from the energy sector contribute the most. 3) Ireland is projected to exceed its 2020 EU target for reducing emissions in the non-trading sector (transport, buildings, agriculture, waste) by 20% compared to 2005 levels. Focus is needed on policies and measures to reduce emissions from agriculture and transport.
