STATEMENT

We, the youth of Ireland, call on our elected representatives and on adults to listen. We put forward our Recommendations for action to stop climate breakdown. We are NOT experts. In our Recommendations we offer ideas but we do NOT have all the answers. It is a starting point for adults and particularly for those elected to protect and progress our society. We call on you to listen to the science, to take on board our Recommendations and to work on our behalf to ensure that we - and you - have a future. 

RÁITEAS

Iarraimidne, óige na hÉireann, ar ár n-ionadaithe tofa agus ar dhaoine fásta éisteacht linn. Cuirimid chun cinn ár Moltaí chun gníomhú chun stad a chur le cliseadh aeráide. NÍ saineolaithe sinn. Inár moltaí, cuirimid smaointe ar fáil ach is fiú dúinn a rá NACH againn atá na freagraí ar fad. Is ceann tosaigh é seo do dhaoine fásta agus go háirithe dóibh sin a toghadh chun ár sochaí a chosaint agus a chur chun cinn. Iarraimid oraibh éisteacht le fianaise na heolaíochta, glacadh lenár Moltaí agus oibriú thar ár gceann chun a chinntiú go mbeidh todhchaí romhainn – agus romhaibhse freisin.

RECOMMENDATIONS

  1. From your corner store to your super market, we call on the house to incentivise and obligate the installation of glass doors on open refrigerators

MOLTAÍ

  1. Ó do shiopa áitiúil go dtí na hollmhargaí móra ba chóir dreasachtaí agus dualgais a chur i bhfeidhm ionas go gcuirfear doirse gloine i bhfearas ar chuisneoirí oscailte.
  2. Ba chóir go gcuirfeadh Éire cosc ar ghás fraiceáilte a iomportáil agus infheistíocht a dhéanamh i réimsí inathnuaite amháin.
  3. Ba chóir bearta a chur i bhfeidhm a ligfeadh d'earraí Éireannacha a bheith éicea-inbhuanaithe agus ar chostas réasúnta i margadh na hÉireann sa lá atá inniu ann.
  4. Ba chóir cáin chisealaithe a thabhairt isteach ar astaíochtaí ó chuideachtaí móra lena n-áirítear iad sin faoi ETS. Ní mór an cháin seo a mhéadú gach bliain, fad a ísleoidh an tairseach, agus an t-ualach a bhogadh ón duine aonair go dtí na corparáidí.
  5. Ba chóir infheistíocht a dhéanamh i saoráidí tionsclaíochta cnáibe chun úsáid talaimh inmharthana, inbhunaithe agus ailtéarnach a sholáthar d’fheirmeoirí chomh maith le fostaíocht a chur ar fáil do thuath na hÉireann.
  6. Ba chóir córas lipéadaithe agus praghsála a thabhairt isteach a thaispeánfadh tionchar aeráide táirgí bia bunaithe ar chritéir ar nós thionchar na pacáistíochta agus an t-achar a tháinig an bia.
  7. Ba chóir go gcuirfeadh Éire cosc dlí ar an éicea-mharú – is éard sa mhéid sin cailliúint fhorleathan agus chórasach éiceachóras, lena n-áirítear damáiste aeráide agus cultúrtha.
  8. Ba chóir go gcosnófaí foraoisí agus ba chóir a chinntiú go ndírítear ar 10% ar a laghad den talamh iomlán atá i seilbh daoine ar mhaithe le húsáidí talmhaíochta a choinneáil don fhoraoiseacht.
  9. Feachtas Faisnéise dírithe náisiúnta chun oideachas a chur ar an bpobal maidir leis an ngéarchéim aeráide, na cúiseanna atá léi, na himpleachtaí agus na réitigh.
  10. Oideachas éigeantach "Inbhuanaitheachta" ón mbunleibhéal go dtí an ionad oibre lena n-áirítear ábhar nua éigeantach don Teastas Sóisearach agus don Ardteist.
