This book provides a comprehensive overview of Ireland's response to the
climate crisis. The contributions, written by leading scholars across a
range of disciplines in the social sciences, humanities and beyond, shed
light on diverse aspects of the climate crisis, the factors shaping
Ireland's response, and prospects for the future. Long regarded as a
'climate laggard', Ireland's response to the urgent societal challenge
of climate change has seen new momentum in recent times. The volume will
serve as a key reference point for academics, students, policymakers,
and a wide range of stakeholders. It will be of interest to readers
within Ireland, as well as further afield, who wish to gain a deeper
understanding of the constraints on, and opportunities for, successful
climate action in Ireland.
