Focusing on lessons learned, the study explores the impact of guiding policies, legislation, and regulations on climate adaptation within the finance and commercial sectors, both internationally and nationally. The research includes a comprehensive literature review, emphasising the pivotal role of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and EU taxonomy frameworks in guiding climate risk assessment practices in relevant sectors. The study included interviews conducted with 20 individuals in roles related to sustainability, risk management, and Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) within 11 diverse organisations spanning finance, commercial, consultancy, and climate services sectors. The interview topics were structured around three primary themes: current practices, policy and legislation, and climate actions.

Appropriate adaptation or resilience indicators provide a means to measure and quantify the status of climate adaptation, and the progress of adaptation actions in producing desired outcomes. These indicators help to define an existing situation and to track changes or trends over time. They can provide, for example, the degree of development or implementation of a policy process, or quantitative information, such as the total seasonal rainfall in a given area, or number of road bridges strengthened to withstand extreme weather events. Through a co-development process with TII, 43 adaptation indicators were identified and agreed with TII management, that are both suitable and implementable for national roads and light rail; this comprised 19 climatological, 6 impact, 11 implementation and 8 outcome indicators.

A technical report outlining the methodologies used in surface waters and groundwaters, July 2024
Year: 2024
In Ireland, almost 60 per cent of identified Water Framework Directive (WFD) water bodies1 are monitored. The current ecological status assigned to these waterbodies is based on the results of the 2019-2021 national water quality monitoring programme (EPA, 2021). The status for those water bodies that are not monitored must be assigned by other means. The purpose of this technical paper is to outline how status is assigned to the remaining unmonitored surface waters and groundwaters.
