Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 pm

Professor Valérie Masson-Delmotte:

There are three main risks facing us, the first of which is a lack of ambition in dealing with climate related risks which are increasing gradually and committing younger generations to greater adaptation to an unknown climate. The second is the risk of reliance into the future, following potentially, an overshoot, on the large-scale deployment of very risky options for food security and biodiversity preservation. The third is the risk of a rapid transition now.
