Sustainable development goals

Clare County Council has been selected as one of 26 organisations to participate in the Sustainable Development Goal Champions Programme 2023-2024. The Council’s selection means it will now be among the leaders in driving forward Ireland’s progress towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For information on the SDG's advice on how to integrate these into your life or business visit Clare County Council's Sustainable Development Goals Engagement Page.

Climate adaptation strategy

Clare County Council’s Climate Change Adaptation Strategy 2019-2024 created a roadmap of goals and objectives across six thematic areas to adapt to the effects of climate change and safeguard our way of life. Taking proactive action to adjust and prepare for a changing climate supports building resilience in our economy, environment and communities.

Clare County Council’s Climate Change Adaptation Strategy with its accompanying Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Screening Report and Appropriate Assessment (AA) Screening Report was adopted by Clare County Council on the 16th September 2019.
