Considering rising global demand, and the future relaxation and removal of EU milk quotas, which will tend to increase agricultural emissions, this target presents a major challenge to the country, delegates at the recent Teagasc conference on agricultural greenhouse gas emissions heard in Wexford recently. The seminar heard from Teagasc experts in the various sectors, together with a presentation from Dr Hendrick, COFORD, while also looking at the strategies implemented by New Zealand to stabilise greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining production.

THE HEAT IS ON www.ecounesco.ie Welcome to ECO-UNESCO’s Young Environmentalist Awards 2020 Welcome to the ECO-UNESCO Young Environmentalist Awards 2020. I would like to congratulate you on becoming a Young Environmentalist Awards finalist and I’m delighted to acknowledge the work of all of our Young Environmentalists. This year we hosted a very different Young Environmentalist Awards (YEA). We weren’t able to stage our annual showcase or awards ceremony but this is no less an acknowledgement of the wonderful work of young people across the island of Ireland in environmental protection and action for sustainability. This year to celebrate our Young Environmentalists we created a new ECO-Week with themes of Food, Fashion, Fitness and Future to provide you with inspirational workshops, talks, activities and much more all accessible from your home. The Young Environmentalist Awards is a way of recognising and rewarding the work of young people who carry out environmental action projects locally. Over the years the YEA has grown with tens of thousands of young people from all across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland participating, helping to conserve and protect the environment and promote sustainable development, and encouraging others to do the same. For YEA 2020, we are delighted to have received almost 500 entries from groups of young people aged 10- 18 from all across the country, covering so many important environmental issues including climate action, biodiversity loss, water pollution, and many more. You have completed your YEA action projects with energy, enthusiasm and creativity and I want to congratulate you on your achievements especially this year with the challenges the current global pandemic has brought to all of us.
