In Ireland, almost one in five species is now threatened with extinction. Our seas are warming, coastlines are eroding, and flooding is becoming more frequent and severe. Sea levels around Ireland have already risen by over 25 centimeters in the last century, and they continue to rise – quietly, steadily, reshaping our coastal communities and habitats. These impacts are not distant possibilities; they affect homes, farms, infrastructure, and the natural places we cherish and depend on. And yet, we are still among the lucky ones for now. Ireland’s climate vulnerability is real, but we remain relatively sheltered compared to many regions around the planet. Across the world, the climate crisis is already making entire regions unlivable: small island nations are disappearing under rising seas, drought and extreme heat are threatening food security, and millions of people are being displaced with little support or protection. The communities who have done the least to cause this crisis are being hit the hardest. This is not just an environmental crisis – it’s a crisis of justice, care, and accountability.
