Continue to support the revitalisation of derelict private and commercial buildings, through existing grants, and identify further funding streams. Use the learnings from the City Council’s forthcoming Energy Performance Contract (EPC) and the Retrofitting & Renewables Taskforce to inform a best-practice approach to energy efficiency, renewable energy use, and sustainable resource management. Encourage a shift to sustainable travel through walking, cycling, and public transport and by accelerating improvements in active and public transport infrastructure. Encourage all stakeholders to support an increased frequency of pedestrianisation in the city centre and pilot traffic-reduction schemes throughout the city. Promote the shift to a circular economy for all sectors and support the implementation of the National Waste Management Plan for a Circular Economy 2024–2030, including the promotion of new bioeconomy ventures in the city. Support the City Centre Placemaking Fund, encouraging revitalisation of the built environment and establishment of green spaces that prioritise biodiverse and socially inclusive green spaces. Promote local food production and consumption, by supporting the Cork Food Policy Council to develop a robust, sustainable food strategy for the city.
