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.

This registration scheme is open to both radon measurement laboratories and suppliers of radon detectors for the measurement of radon in homes and workplaces.
Ireland's Provisional Greenhouse Gas Emissions 1990-2024
Year: 2025
The EPA has produced provisional estimates of greenhouse gas emissions for the time period 1990-2024. This report provides early insight into the annual greenhouse gas emissions in advance of final data being submitted to the EU and UN in 2026.
Water quality monitoring report on nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in Irish waters 2024
This report provides an update on the results of water quality monitoring to support the assessment of the impact of the nitrates derogation on Irish waters, as required under Regulation 37 of the European Union (Good Agricultural Practices for the Protection of Waters) (Amendment) Regulations., July 2025
Year: 2025
The EPA has reported on the results of water quality monitoring to support the assessment of the impact of the nitrates derogation on Irish Waters
Climate Change in the Irish Mind Insight Report Wave 2 Number 2: Personal Economy
Does your financial situation impact your attitude to climate change?, June 2025
Year: 2025
The CCIM Insight report ‘Personal Economy’ investigates how personal economic circumstances can influence people’s perspectives on topics like overall policy outlook, support for climate change policies, and trust in climate change information sources.

Quarterly Greenhouse Gas Emissions Indicator Report 2024 Quarter 4
Year: 2025
This is the fourth 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. The series will complement the national greenhouse gas inventory and projections prepared annually by the EPA. Emissions in quarter 4 2024 were up by 2.5 per cent on the same quarter last year. This was mainly driven by increased emissions from electricity generation (+11.3 per cent), and agriculture (+3.8 per cent). It should be noted that these data have been seasonally adjusted to provide a clearer picture of the underlying trends independent of seasonal fluctuations.
Quarterly Greenhouse Gas Emissions Indicator Report 2024 Quarter 3
Year: 2025
This is the third 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. The series will complement the national greenhouse gas inventory and projections prepared annually by the EPA. Emissions in quarter 3 2024 increased by +0.5% (+60 kt CO₂ eq) compared to quarter 3 2023, driven mainly by increases in the Buildings (+162 kt CO₂ eq) sector (due to increased heating demand from cooler weather) and Agriculture (+99 kt CO₂ eq) sector (due to increased fertiliser use).
National Climate Change Risk Assessment Consultation Report
Year: 2025
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) commissioned KPMG to design and deliver Ireland’s first dedicated National Climate Change Risk Assessment (NCCRA). The purpose of the NCCRA is to provide for an iterative and scalable approach to assessing climate change risk. The NCCRA is delivered through three reports; a Summary for Policymakers which contains a summary of policy-relevant aspects of the NCCRA in non-technical and accessible language; a Main Report which provides an overview of the methodology, findings, and recommendations to improve climate risk assessments; a Technical Report which sets out the evidence base for the NCCRA and further detail on the risk assessment findings, including descriptions of exposure, vulnerability, and consequence and outlines knowledge gaps.
National Climate Change Risk Assessment Summary for Policymakers
Year: 2025
Ireland’s first National Climate Change Risk Assessment (NCCRA) provides a comprehensive national overview of the potential risks and opportunities posed by climate change for Ireland. It will play a critical role in meeting national policy objectives and supporting sectoral and local authority climate adaptation planning processes. The NCCRA integrates scientific and technical knowledge with input from expert stakeholders, to identify, assess, and prioritise climate change risks to build a comprehensive understanding of risks.
