Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Ireland's Climate Change Assessment Report: Discussion

Dr. Tara Quinn:

I have a quick comment. This conversation is mostly about emissions mitigation but when it comes to adaptation, local authorities are a key stakeholder and key partner in the climate action ecosystem, as we described earlier. We are seeing, and we have seen, widespread development of climate action plans in local authorities. These will be where the key actions happen when we are thinking about adaptation to climate change working as a community. From an adaptation perspective, then, it is very much a focal scale of interest.
