COLLABORATION IN CLIMATE POLICY ASSESSMENT:IRELAND AT RISK(Homework 6) Edem Agbenowu, Magaret Arogunyo.

INTRODUCTION Efforts to deal with climate change to date have focused on mitigation, in particular trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But even if we could successfully cap emissions, we will not stop never mind reverse the effects of climate change over the next 50 years. So we must adapt to the changes. And with climate change already underway, adaptation is now urgent in Ireland as elsewhere. Hence the focus of this assessment is to find out how Ireland is prepared in climate change adaptation

INTRODUCTION The assessment was carried out in the following key areas Water supply Flood protection, Energy supplies

INTRODUCTION The idea of assessment is to collect information that is needed in a decision-making process. The information is organised as an assessment that predicts the impacts of different decision options on some outcomes of interest. Information is organised to the level of detail that is necessary to achieve the objective of informing decision-makers. In our case the following stakeholders The Irish Academy of Engineering, The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, Researchers, Engineers, Scientist, Policy experts

ENERGY SUPPLY The integrity of our power plants, distribution grids, gas supply lines and oil depots are fundamental to society and the economy. Other services, such as water supplies, hospitals, transportation, etc., all depend critically on an adequate and reliable energy supply

FLOOD PROTECTION The cities and towns of Ireland are nearly all located on the coast, from Belfast and Dublin on the east, to Waterford and Cork on the south, past Limerick and Galway on the west, to Derry on the north. Most are also located on large rivers. Likewise, much of our industry and general infrastructure is coastal, notably power stations, communications and transport hubs. All are therefore at risk from floods and storm surges and, in the long- term, from rising sea levels and coastal erosion. The potential economic consequences of these climatic changes, and the misery inflicted on people in these areas.

WATER SUPPLIES Water is essential for the survival of all life on Earth, and fundamental to industry, business and farming. An adequate and reliable water supply is already a key factor in locating new manufacturing industry, especially pharmaceutical plants. This is likely to become even more of an issue as water supplies become strained in the future I think is better if we use the shape of ppt to mark the number in the table and to underline sucrose conc.

RESULTS Water supply Establish Water Resource Authorities Plan for future water supplies: Investigate future water sources: Plan for competing demands:Review the desalination option:

RESULTS Energy supply Produce asset risk registers: Review wave energy issues: Implement coastal protection measures

RESULTS Flood protection. Identify significant flood defences: Assess flood risks Complete flood risk maps and management plans Implement coastal protection plan, instal a tide gauge network

CONCLUSION Work on climate change in Ireland to date has been successful in refining the likely impacts over the coming century. However, significant uncertainty and challenges remain and researchers in this critical area must work closely with end-users of data to ensure the best possible information is used for decision making and designing for the future.
