Northern Ireland Climate Change Risk Assessment and Adaptation Programme
The Northern Ireland Climate Change Risk Assessment identifies sector-specific risks and opportunities from climate change, informing the Northern Ireland Climate Change Adaptation Programme which sets priorities for sustainable adaptation measures to protect the economy, environment and society.
The most recent assessment of the potential local impacts of climate change is the Northern Ireland Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA). This identifies, for different sectors such as agriculture, health, transport, business and the natural environment, the risks and opportunities likely to ensue through climate change. The report informed the Northern Ireland climate Change Adaption Programme, published in January 2014, which will identifies priorities for action and appropriate sustainable adaptation measures that will be required to minimise risks to the economy, environment and society.
