Report cover for evidence based targeting of agricultural measures to reduce N in catchments

Evidence-based targeting of agricultural measures to reduce nitrogen in catchments to achieve water quality objectives

Year: 2025

This report outlines three updates to the evidence base to support targeting the right measures in the right place to improve water quality. The first update is the assessment of the catchments that need nitrogen load reductions to support good estuarine ecological conditions which incorporates more recent monitoring data since first reported by the EPA in 2021, and some improvements to the assessment methodology. The second update follows the same methodology to look back at changes in the reductions required over a 35-year period since 1990 at representative monitoring stations. Thirdly, the on-line mapping tool for the Farm and Landscape measures for Agriculture (FLAG) map (previously the Targeting Agricultural Measures map) has also been updated with monitoring data up to 2024, along with the other multiple lines of evidence used to indicate where agricultural measures are needed to restore water quality.

Quarterly Greenhouse Gas Emissions Indicator Report 2025 Quarter 1

Year: 2025

This is the fifth EPA report in a new series of quarterly greenhouse gas emissions for Ireland to support 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 2025 were up by 2.9% on the same quarter last year. This was mainly driven by increased emissions in the agriculture sector (+8.7%) due to increased fertiliser sales, and the Electricity sector driven by a 4.1% increase in electricity generation from fossil fuels.
