Hey #IrishClimate: I feel a post flashed by here in the last 24h linking to some direct comparison (?) specifically of climate action positions between #CatherineConnolly and #HeatherHumphreys. But now I can't find it - doh! Ring a bell with anyone else?

Map showing average consistency per adaptation plan and city. Full consistency is shown by the green dots. Degrees of inconsistency are shown in shades from green to red, with a maximum inconsistency of 79.6%, the highest score across individual cities. Source: Reckien et al. (2025).
1. Consistency between hazards identified in a risk assessment and a city’s adaptation goals. 2. Consistency between the risks to specific sectors and detailed policy measures. 3. Consistency between the risks faced by vulnerable groups and detailed policy measures. 4. Consistency between the policy measures targeted at vulnerable groups and monitoring and evaluation processes to ensure they are being implemented. 5. Consistency between the risks faced by vulnerable groups and their involvement in decision-making.
Limerick, Galway, Derry, & Belfast leading the pack for Irish cities with consistent city #Climate adaptation plans.
The consistency gaps are between risks & plans, plans & implementations, implementations & monitoring, plans & group involvement.

SEAI Master Planning Tool, showing heat loss indicator data across Ireland.
Interesting new maps from SEAI showing community level data across Ireland (with data from grants I assume).
You can view the uptake of EVs & home charges, BER ratings, types of dwelling, year of construction, heating type, & heat loss.

The IAE's shortsighted energy transition report recommendation yesterday fired me up to write something:
#ClimateAction Ambition Needs To Smash Current Boundaries
Frank conversations will empower better options

I’ve been an environmentalist since the first time I read about pandas and their diminishing habitats.
As a kid in the 80s I had very little power to change anything: but that day planting trees gave me chance to make a difference.

Tree Planting: a Chiseler’s Tale
They say a “a society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they may never sit.”
Well what about when children plant trees?

Should Repak, "Ireland leading not for profit organisation" should be asked to comment @irishindependent.bsky.social?
