"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published Ireland’s first National Climate Change Risk Assessment (NCCRA) Main Report, dated June 2025. The report identifies 115 climate risks across nine systems: Biodiversity and Ecosystems, Built Environment, Economy and Finance, Energy, Food Production and Supply Chain, Health, Marine and Coastal Ecosystems, Social, and Water Security. It assesses risks under moderate (RCP4.5) and high (RCP8.5) emissions scenarios across three time horizons: present-2030, mid-century, and late-century. Key findings include 43 significant risks, with cascading effects across systems. The report provides a decision urgency framework and recommendations for adaptation planning."
