Climate Change Risk Assessment - Identified Risks
The 2012 Climate Change Risk Assessment identified climate risks across 11 sectors, with increased flooding and coastal erosion, coastal squeeze and erosion identified as potentially significant threats to people, properties, infrastructure and coastal environments in Northern Ireland.
The Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) for Northern Ireland published in January 2012, identified a range of climate risks across 11 sectors including Agriculture, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, Built Environment, Business including Tourism, Industry and Services, Energy, Forestry, Floods & Coastal Erosion, Health, Marine and Fisheries, Transport and Water. The Assessment indicates that increase in flooding and coastal erosion affecting people, properties (including built heritage) and infrastructure and coastal squeeze and coastal erosion affecting beaches, intertidal areas, grazing marshes etc. are potentially significant threats for Northern Ireland from a changing climate.
