Climate Change

Climate change is the greatest environmental challenge facing the world today. Rising global temperatures will bring changes in weather patterns, rising sea levels and increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events.

In Northern Ireland, DoE takes a lead on climate change issues through our Climate Change Unit. We work closely with Defra (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Opens in a new window. in London and with our colleagues in the Devolved Administrations of Scotland Opens in a new window. and Wales Opens in a new window..

The UK is acting now to adapt to climate change and to reduce the risk by reducing our contribution to the causes.

This website explains what climate change means for Northern Ireland and what we are doing about it. It will also give you some tips on what you can do.
