Overview

The Irish National Adaptation Hub is a national knowledge platform for climate change adaptation. It builds on the already established Climate Ireland Platform and NAH meetings with multi-level actors and organisations. Climate Ireland is anchored in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), while University College Cork (UCC) acts as the operational coordinator within the Adaptation Hubs project. The hub targets a multi-stakeholder audience to facilitate knowledge exchange and support policy development and practical implementation.

The hub will facilitate opportunities for connection between local, regional and national authorities, convening workshops, meetings and roundtable discussions to support peer exchange, shared learning and capacity building. These events will be used to identify practitioner needs and share knowledge and resources and to engage underrepresented sectors and organisations. Key participants will include government departments (DCEE), national agencies (EPA), local authorities and Climate Action Regional Offices as well as other relevant actors and organisations. Additionally twinning sessions with transboundary partners will be organised to build cross-border collaboration and cooperation. 

The Irish Adaptation Hub aims to strengthen collaboration, coordination and partnership working between and across local, regional and national government, supporting a movement from climate adaptation planning to streamlined implementation.
