Ireland faces rising climate risks. Strengthening building resilience through adaptive design, retrofits and nature-based solutions is vital for a climate-ready built environment.
Building Resilience For a Climate Ready Future
Ireland is already experiencing the tangible impacts of climate change - warmer average temperatures, heavier rainfall, rising sea levels, and more frequent coastal and river flooding. These changes pose significant risks to the nation’s-built environment, including homes, public buildings, and historic structures.
In response, policy efforts are increasingly focused on climate adaptation and resilience, aiming not only to reduce current vulnerabilities but also to ensure that buildings and infrastructure can withstand future climatic pressures.
