Ireland

This report identifies and assesses the most severe transboundary climate risks facing the island of Ireland under three pre-defined categories: agriculture and food security, infrastructure and trade and biophysical systems and ecosystem services.

Irish citizens feel most vulnerable to floods, with average disaster risk awareness but low preparedness. Trust in public authorities is high, yet information is primarily sourced through informal channels like media and personal networks.

This paper provides model-based evidence from five European case studies which demonstrate the effectiveness of five different Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in reducing the magnitude of the hazard and thus risk, in present-day and possible future climates.

This report and accompanying technical annex analyse the impact of climate framework laws in three countries, Germany, Ireland and New Zealand, based on evidence from 73 expert interviews and desk research.

This seismic risk profile of Ireland, produced by the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation summarizes key metrics of seismic risk, allowing stakeholders in risk management to get an overview of the risk in the country.

This research presents a methodology to extract relevant information from multiple sources post-event and a database building process that is applied to two contrasting estuaries in the Western European coastal area.

The visibility of young people in climate change debates has risen significantly since the inception of the Fridays for Future movement, but little is known about the diversity of positions, perspectives and experiences of young people in Ireland

This week’s Manchester Briefing details some COVID-19 topics that are being worked on across three research areas: Communities; Systems; Recovery, Renewal, Resilience Frameworks. The briefing summarises six research topics and details how these aim to enhance understanding of Recovery, Renewal, Resilience in the context of COVID-19.
