‘If we do not put structures and resources in place, communities will be increasingly exposed,’ Climate Change Advisory Council chair says
The Climate Change Advisory Council warns Ireland must immediately scale up preparations for extreme weather events by investing in infrastructure and resources. A national climate damage register is needed to monitor the impacts of extreme weather, as evidenced by storms Éowyn, Isha, Bert and Darragh in 2024. Inadequate critical infrastructure amplifies the need for accelerated action to protect communities and future-proof services.
