My Department is at an advanced stage in developing a National Climate Change Adaptation Framework, which will set out a process by which we can help to reduce Ireland’s vulnerability and build resilience to the impacts of climate change. I expect the Framework, which will be designed to evolve over time as further evidence and policy options become available, to be finalised by year-end.
