Most Irish businesses will have to re-skill and undergo radical change in the coming decade to meet the climate change challenge as Ireland seeks to halve its carbon emissions, Minister for Further and Higher Education Simon Harris has said.
Announcing a five-year national initiative –
Climate Ready – designed to equip businesses with the skills and practical tools needed, which will initially benefit 1,100 companies, Mr Harris acknowledged companies had already experienced “massive” upheaval caused by Brexit and Covid-19.
