The effects of climate change in Ireland will be profound, and at the moment we’re not doing nearly enough about it. That’s the bad news. The good news is that Ireland has the wherewithal to dramatically cut its emissions while making itself far more resilient. This book shows how it can be done.

It also offers an inspiring vision of how – through a revolution in farming, development of renewable energy and a dramatic acceleration of moves to decarbonize transport and housing – we can prepare for the new realities of the climate crisis.
