I tweet on climate change and environmental issues. I may also occasionally tweet on Cork and its role at the centre of the known universe! Views all mine!

@DubLoony @farmersjournal @EPAIreland Farmers Journal and IFA bedfellows: of course they support each other.

@paulatgreid1 @farmersjournal @IFAmedia @EPAIreland What expert? Like to see who this is? Bet it’s not an independent ‘expert’, unlike EPA experts who have no axe to grind.

[Grace O'Sullivan @GraceOSllvn]

Nature Restoration Law has been adopted by the European Parliament 🎉🎉🎉

We have defeated the attempts to block action on climate change and biodiversity loss. I am bowled over.

[Margaret Desmond @MDesm0nd]

@HannahEDaly The proverbial dogs in the street have known about this for years. The mock surprise and hand wringing is as galling. Shameful on all levels.

[Malcolm Noonan @noonan_malcolm]

🚨 Deal! We have a agreement on the Nature Restoration Regulation at the EU Council! 🇪🇺

General Approach agreed 🤝

EPA Chief Climate Scientist, Frank McGovern @fmcgatepa, discussing the multiple benefits of climate action - including for air quality and human health - with An Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD at #COP27

And not a woman in sight….

[Environmental Pillar @Env_Pillar]

Representatives from the Environmental Pillar will be speaking today at #NED22 to tell the Government that we can - and must - address our environmental and cost of living crises in tandem. (1/2)

[McKinsey & Company @McKinsey]

Working parents are craving flexibility—and they're quitting their jobs to get it.

Recent research shows that managers who are parents, and in particular women, provide much of the social support in organizations.

Here's how to keep this crucial group➡️

Irish people have the stomach for climate actions and want leadership from government

Mary Frances Rochford @MFRochford from the @EPAIreland #ClimateConference2022

[Paula Leonard @PNiLionain]

Great insight from @Maynoothgeog’s @cmurphy2904 on what a Climate Resilient Ireland might look like - thinking beyond mitigation policies & the technical focus on adaptation, promoting ‘Just Resilience’ & people-led adaptation strategies @EPAIreland #climateconference2022

Debra Roberts, co-chair of the recently published IPCC WGII report, addressed the conference virtually to deliver key messages from the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) on the Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability of Climate Change.

[EPA Ireland @EPAIreland]

"Urgent implementation of all climate plans and polices, plus further new measures, are needed for Ireland to meet the 51% emissions reduction target and put Ireland on track for climate neutrality by 2050" - EPA Senior Manager Stephen Treacy

[EPA Ireland @EPAIreland]

“It’s important that we get the story right. The Irish people want to be part of the solution.”- Minister Eamon Ryan addressing the #ClimateConference2022 now

[Paula Leonard @PNiLionain]

“If we exceed 1.5°C for several decades we can still expect irreversible biodiversity & ecosystem losses”, crucial as we are heavily reliant on critical ecosystem services

Fantastic presentation by @IPCC_CH WG2 Co-Chair Prof Debra Roberts #climateconference2022
