The National Sustainable Mobility Forum is an annual event which aims to engage with stakeholders on progress related to the Sustainable Mobility Policy (SMP) in support of walking, cycling, public transport, and shared mobility in Ireland. The 2024 Forum, which took place in Portlaoise on 23 May, offered an opportunity to review the Policy’s effectiveness, consider how our transport system will need to develop to meet our future needs, and reflect on the behavioural and societal changes needed to realise our emissions reduction targets of 50% by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050. The report of the 2024 Forum has now been published and is available at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/publication/76289-national-sustainable-mobility-forum-23-may-2024/ .

The Department of Transport has published its Strategic Approach to Public Engagement on Climate Action and Sustainable Mobility 2024-25. Its aim is to strengthen the social contract between the public and the State for climate action and sustainable mobility – through an inclusive programme of engagement at national, regional and community levels – and to empower the people of Ireland to take climate action. The guiding principle is that engagement is a two-way process, in which the State not only leads, but also listens and learns, working with communities and stakeholders across Ireland in a collaborative partnership, which is aimed at bringing about positive changes that will deliver a better, cleaner and fairer transport system for all of our people, both now and into the future. The objectives outlined in the Strategy are an integral part of the Whole-of-Government approach to climate engagement and communications, as outlined in Climate Action Plan 2024, and are aligned with Ireland’s commitment to the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, notably SDG 13, ‘Climate Action’, and 11, ‘Sustainable Cities and Communities’. The Strategy can be viewed in both English and Gaeilge at www.gov.ie/en/publication/e3134-public-engagement-strategy/

Eamon Ryan TD, Minister for Transport, has published for public consultation a draft Strategy ' Moving Together: A Strategic Approach to the Improved Efficiency of the Transport System in Ireland’ along with a draft Implementation Plan. Moving Together has been developed to make our transport system more efficient and to alleviate the impacts of car-dependency and congestion on the economy, the environment and the health of our society. In line with binding sectoral targets under the Climate Action and Low-Carbon Development (Amendment) Act 2021, the transport sector must cut its emissions by 50% (relative to 2018 levels) by 2030. To achieve this target, Government is supporting a large-scale transition to Electric Vehicles (EVs), higher penetration levels of biofuels in the fuel mix and unprecedented investment in public and active travel infrastructure. However, these measures alone will not deliver the emissions reduction required for the transport sector, nor do they address issues relating to congestion and the associated costs of inefficient journeys to our society and the economy. Accordingly, this Strategy is the final key policy component in the decarbonisation pathway for the Transport Sector as outlined in the Climate Action Plan (23/24). The Department of Transport convened a cross departmental/multi-agency steering group to oversee the development of the draft Strategy. Six sub-groups were also established comprising a diverse range of national and international experts from government, industry, representative bodies, and academia, among others to consider areas of particular focus and to prepare related reports, which helped to inform the development of the Strategy. These reports have been published for information alongside the draft Strategy and Implementation Plan.
