Ireland’s economy and society ‘must adapt to challenge of climate change’
A Forfás report on the future of climate change found that in line with global patterns, Ireland’s climate has changed over the past 100 years and the impacts are expected to increase in the coming decades.
Ireland’s economy and society will have to adapt to the climate getting warmer by between one to four degrees celsius by the end of the century, with the south and east of the country predicted to be the warmest regions, the report said.
