Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung has asked the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MoNRE) to solicit feedback from relevant agencies on the draft of the National Action Plan on Climate Change Response from 2021-2030, according to an official letter from the Government Office.
MoNRE is also tasked with studying the feasibility of integrating and amending drafts of the National Action Plan on Climate Change Response and the National Action Plan on Climate Change Adaptation over the next 10 years with a vision to 2050, issued along with the Prime Minister’s Decision No 1055/QD-TTg dated July 20, 2020.
It must identify suitable resources to ensure the feasibility of policies outlined in the plan and avoid any overlap with programmes and plans already being implemented.

Sinn Féin Councillor Thomas Healy has received confirmation of €200,000 funding to complete the reinstatement of the footpath under the railway bridge linking Collooney and Ballisodare. Following the adoption of my motion on this issue I am delighted to welcome confirmation of this funding under the Climate Change Adaptation works and the Active Travel Scheme. The Council has now confirmed that the contract for these works has been awarded and it is envisaged that the work will be completed by June. This has been a longstanding campaign for local residents and it is very satisfying to witness the huge amounts of people using the first phase of this footpath every day for walking and running.

Research Group Germanwatch s Global Climate Risk Index Report for 2021 showed that the Philippines ranked fourth in the list of countries most affected by extreme weather from 1999 to 2018.
