priority for Ireland and an essential tool in addressing the climate
crisis.
He added: “This roadmap sets out targeted measures
with a view to Ireland being a leading sustainable finance centre by

Sustainable Finance Centre of Excellence is central to this plan, and it
fits into our broader climate action goals. All stakeholders, public
