The Synthesis Report meeting for the EPA Five Year Assessment Report was held on 7th and 8th of November at FSTEM TCD. Authors from all four volumes on Ireland’s first climate assessment review were able to meet in-person and online. The aim of this meeting was to decide on the scope and outline of this important stage of the process, which follows a similar format to the IPCC.
The Synthesis Report will provide an integrated overview of the key messages from all four volumes of 5YAR, and aims to provide information for the policy guidance needed as a long term assessment strategy for Ireland and climate change. It was a great meeting and great progress was made collectively on this task.
