Ireland's Pathway to Kyoto Compliance, published in July 2006 for the purpose of public consultation in the context of the ongoing review of the National Climate Change Strategy, sets out work currently under way to assess the impacts of climate change in Ireland. The report proposes the development of a national policy on adaptation to climate change to provide policy-makers with a framework to factor potential future climate change impacts into policy making. A copy of this report is available in the Oireachtas Library. Work on the review of the National Climate Change Strategy will be completed as soon as possible.
