Eionet Ireland Network Brochure 2023

Year: 2023

National Focal Points (NFPs) are the primary national contact points in the EIONET and the EEA works closely with them. Typically based in a national environment agency or environment ministry, an NFP is appointed by their EEA member country. The Environmental Protection Agency acts as the NFP for Ireland, coordinating environmental information exchange with the EEA and others. In its NFP role, the EPA maintains and develops the national network. It also facilitates and coordinates contacts, requests and deliveries between national and EU level. [February 2023]

Climate Change's Four Irelands

An Audience Segmentation Analysis, November 2022

Year: 2022

This segmentation report is an analysis of the EPA Climate Change in the Irish Mind survey published in 2021, in partnership with Yale University. The report shows that the Irish population can be categorised into four distinct audiences based on attitudes about climate change. The classification shows that the audiences strongly differ on their knowledge, levels of worry, and willingness to take direct action on climate change. The four groups representing a spectrum of views about climate change are identified as the Alarmed, Concerned, Cautious and Doubtful.
