Call to action – 2ºC
Stop Climate Chaos calls on the
Government to:
1. Push for an international agreement to keep the rise in global temperatures to 2ºC or less. This means global greenhouse gas emissions must reach their peak and begin to decline irreversibly within 10
years.

Call to Action 2 – Climate Law
2. Ensure Ireland does its fair share to prevent climate chaos by implementing the polluter pays principle and immediately bringing in a climate change law which provides for an annual Carbon Budget and 3% year-on-year reduction in Irish GHG emissions.
