Climate Change
What is Climate Change?
Climate change requires a comprehensive approach encompassing both mitigation and adaptation strategies. This involves addressing the impact on sectors like agriculture and forestry, which are heavily influenced by changing weather patterns. In addition to a plan for mitigating climate change, there is a specific focus from the Department of Agriculture, Food, and Marine (DAFM) on adaptation measures to ensure resilience in the face of climate-related challenges. The goal is to safeguard the sustainability of food production, while acknowledging the necessity of adapting to ongoing and future climate changes driven by historical carbon dioxide emissions. The use of both mitigation and adaptation plans is key to a holistic strategy for combating climate change and is embedded in the goals of Ireland’s CAP Strategic Plan.
Within Ireland’s CAP Strategic Plan, specific schemes related to climate change include:
