Project Abstract
The overall aim of this scoping study is to identify the potential impacts of extreme climate events on Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) and Special Protection Areas (SPAs) in Ireland and inform research needs. This will be achieved through a review and synthesise the likely range and nature of extreme climate events of relevance to Ireland followed by data analysis and stakeholder consultation to identify the range of potential impacts of extreme climate events on SACs and SPAs in Ireland. This will inform an assessment of the vulnerability and risk posed by climate change inferences to a representative set of SACs and SPAs. The data and information compiled and analysed will help identify key knowledge gaps that need to be addressed by future research priorities.
