Sustainability rollbacks: Budget 2026, Omnibus, and Ireland’s role in EU sustainability
EU sustainability rules are shifting in 2026, with major rollbacks reshaping expectations for transparency and ESG reporting. As standards soften, businesses face a new landscape to navigate. For Ireland, Budget 2026 outlines a commitment of €1.1 billion to support its long term climate ambitions. This includes significant investment in transforming the national energy system, continued carbon tax increases, and funding for social and environmental initiatives.

Was COP30 the COP of action? A deep dive into wins and shortfalls
COP30 made progress but fell short of being the “COP of action.” While it achieved notable successes such as tripling adaptation finance (though delayed to 2035), creating a Just Transition Mechanism, and maintaining multilateral consensus among 194 countries, its shortcomings were significant. Overall, COP30 demonstrated that global cooperation persists, but political compromises diluted its impact, making it hard to claim true transformative action.
