Abstract:
Transformative change can deliver rapid, deep and sustained emissions reduction (mitigation, see Volume 2), build resilience
to impacts (adaptation, see Volume 3) and deliver a range of benefits and opportunities. Such an approach can realise
benefits for the wellbeing of people and nature and achieve greater equity across society. Pursuing transformative change
allows the realisation of opportunities that would be missed if such a holistic and systemic approach is not followed. Much
greater efforts are needed to close the gap between ambition and action on climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Realisation of transformative change can entail mobilising society to fundamentally reorganise the systems driving
greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity loss and vulnerability to the impacts of climate change.

PUBLISHEDWe see the publication of ICCA as a real innovation for Ireland and as a resource for understanding climate change in an Irish context across the underlying science, mitigation and adaptation measures, and opportunities. It is a starting point for further dialogue on the findings and their utility for policymakers, practitioners, researchers, research funders and people. This engagement phase should continue far beyond the publication of this Assessment and support climate action in Ireland.
