Climate Change Advisory Council Ireland

The Council has published ‘Farm-level behavioural change towards building climate resilience: Insights from a mixed-methods study’. This research was undertaken by Teagasc and aimed to examine farm-level resilience towards climate impacts and behavioural change responses to Ireland’s current climate. A key study finding was the crucial role of social learning and peer-to-peer knowledge exchange to empower farmers, emphasising the need to expand climate adaptation discussions within existing support structures and extension programmes. 

The Climate Change Advisory Council last month published it’s Carbon Budget proposals up to 2040. To find out more about what a Carbon Budget is, visit the dedicated Carbon Budget section on our website. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dAAa89JT

How is a Carbon Budget calculated? When developing its proposals for Carbon Budgets the Council must consider the potential economic and social impacts, the latest science and our national and international commitments. Council Secretariat Manager George Hussey explains more.

How much of Ireland’s Carbon Budget is left? The first two Carbon Budgets to 2030, seek to ensure that Ireland reduces its carbon emissions by at least 51 per cent by 2030. Council Member Prof. Peter Thorne sets out Ireland’s current trajectory against its first two Carbon Budgets.
