Ireland's government has published a national adaptation framework to address climate change impacts, including potential water shortages in Dublin due to climate change. Minister for the Environment and Transport, Eamon Ryan, warned that the city's reliance on the Liffey river for water supply is under threat and that significant investment may be needed to protect infrastructure and essential services. The framework outlines measures to prepare for climate-related risks, including coastal erosion and extreme weather events, and requires the government, local authorities, and relevant state agencies to develop plans for key sectors.
