The Government's Climate Action Plan sets out the energy efficiency and energy related Green House Gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets which Public Sector Bodies in Ireland are legally obliged to meet and mandates the University of Galway as a Public Body to develop a Climate Action Roadmap setting out how we will deliver these targets.

This Climate Action Roadmap has been developed by the University of Galway in response to this obligation. It outlines the work undertaken by the University of Galway to date and our approach to continuing to reduce carbon emissions from our buildings and their operation by reducing energy usage and shifting the University of Galway energy sources from fossil fuels towards renewable and carbon zero energy sources. 

The University of Galway Shared Vision, Shaped by Values, Strategy 2020‐2025 and the University of Galway Sustainability Strategy 2021‐2025 were the primary resources used in formulating the Climate Action Roadmap.
