Strengthening Policy and Governance Frameworks for Climate, Biodiversity and Water Quality

Strengthening Policy and Governance Frameworks for Climate, Biodiversity and Water Quality

Policies and systems about climate and land use are important for creating a society that protects nature and supports people’s wellbeing. 

How land is used across Ireland and Northern Ireland is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. It also affects biodiversity and water quality. 

The aim of this project is to study how climate and land-use policies are changing across the island of Ireland. It will look at the risks caused by these differences and explore ways to reduce those risks. 

Project Goals

  • Map regulatory and governance trends for climate, biodiversity and water on the island of Ireland. This will be based on desk research, interviews with relevant stakeholders and scenario analysis. 

  • Identify regulatory and governance risks on the island of Ireland through scenario analysis and other methods 

  • Chart potential solutions to regulatory and governance risks   

  • Work with the other projects to ensure that research activities across the Climate + Co-Centre enable fair and equitable transitions in land use
