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

Lynn Ruane (IND), University of Dublin

I move amendment No. 4:
In page 13, to delete lines 39 and 40, and in page 14, to delete lines 1 to 3 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, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, without accelerating or worsening the climate emergency for those already experiencing its effects, in line with principles of recognition and reflection of climate justice and historic responsibility for emissions, and those belonging to future generations who may experience its impacts.”.
