============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I move amendment No. 8:
In page 9, to delete lines 15 to 19 and substitute the following:
“(3) In this Act, references to environmental development and sustainability shall be construed as references to development and actions that meet the needs of the present and which contribute to climate action without accelerating or worsening the climate emergency for those already experiencing its effects and those belonging to future generations who may experience its impacts.”.
