Ahead of the meeting at 11am in Committee Room 3 of Leinster House, Committee Cathaoirleach Deputy Brian Leddin said: “The Climate Change Assessment Report for the first time provides a comprehensive and authoritative assessment of the state of knowledge around all key aspects of climate change, focussing on Ireland. The authors of the report come from across Irish academia and brought a wealth of experience and insights to their work. The Committee welcomes this engagement with the report’s authors and looks forward to a wide-ranging briefing and discussion on their valuable research into how climate change affects Ireland.”
