Research 519: CRISIS – Climate Change in the Republic of Ireland: Societal Impacts and Solutions
Authors: Jean O’Dwyer, Carlos Chique, Martin Boudou, Marguerite Nyhan, Stig Hellebust, Anushree Priyadarshini and Paul Hynds, August 2026
Year: 2026
Climate Change in the Republic of Ireland: Societal Impacts and Solutions, (CRISIS) led by UCC provides the first integrated assessment of the societal and public health impacts of climate change in Ireland. Using surveys, health data, spatial analysis and climate projections, the findings demonstrate how extreme weather events (EWEs) and changing climate patterns are already impacting health, with floods and heatwaves linked to increased waterborne diseases and negatively impacting mental well-being. Younger people, urban residents and socioeconomically disadvantaged groups reported the highest levels of stress. This research provides important Ireland-specific evidence to support climate-resilient public health policies. Findings can inform climate adaptation planning, disease surveillance, emergency preparedness, water quality management and targeted support for vulnerable communities, helping policymakers and public health agencies prepare for future climate-related health risks.

Quarterly Greenhouse Gas Emissions Indicator Report 2026 Quarter 1
Year: 2026
This is the latest EPA report on quarterly greenhouse gas emissions for Ireland, supporting more frequent monitoring of national and sectoral progress on climate action. This series complements the national greenhouse gas inventory and projections prepared annually by the EPA. Emissions in Quarter 1 2026 were down by 0.8% compared with the same quarter last year. This was mainly driven by decreases in the Transport sector (-72.1 kt CO₂ eq), reflecting lower road transport emissions, and the Electricity sector (-33.3 kt CO₂ eq), reflecting increased renewable generation and electricity imports alongside reduced non-renewable generation. These decreases were partially offset by increases in the Agriculture sector (+25.6 kt CO₂ eq) and the Industry sector (+8.1 kt CO₂ eq).
