Project Abstract
The objective of this project is to identify, select and apply a set of climate resilience indicators for Ireland based on current international practice and tested through stakeholder engagement. This will be achieved by conducting a global literature review to determine international best practice with respect to climate resilience and the use of indicators to assess progress towards adaptation. These indicators will be assessed in collaboration with stakeholders in order to (1) determine which indicators could be applied in an Irish context based on current usage of indicators and availability of data and (2) to highlight potential national gaps and data challenges and thus derive a national, tailor-made suite of potential indicators. The application, and use of this suite of the indicators identified, will then be tested and further refined with stakeholders as part of a structured consultation event in order to create a final set of indicators for Ireland. After a preliminary application the visualisation framework, developed as part of the project, will be utilised to produce an initial measurement of climate resilience in Ireland based upon available data in order to demonstrate the utility of the selected indicators.
