Ireland’s greenhouse gas emissions continue to decline, with figures from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) showing emissions fall for a fourth consecutive year in 2025. The EPA reports a 2.2% reduction in 2025 compared with the previous year, leaving total emissions 14.5% below 2018 levels. Both reports note that, despite the year-on-year drop, the pace of emissions reductions is slowing. This warning is reflected in the EPA’s assessment that the country is not cutting emissions quickly enough relative to its targets. The EPA’s data therefore show progress in absolute terms while still indicating that additional measures may be needed to maintain momentum and meet longer-term climate goals. The overall picture in the coverage is that emissions are moving in the right direction, but the rate of improvement is less strong than in earlier periods. The EPA’s findings are presented as updated official statistics based on 2025 emissions estimates.
