On the day of Ireland's general election in December 2024, the longtime leader of the Green Party Eamon Ryan sat down with Chris Kissane at Ireland's Edge. Marking the end of his political tenure after 25 years, and with his party's prospects looking bleak, Eamon and Chris discussed why it's not easy being green.Junior partners in two major coalition governments over the last 15 years, the Greens brought issues of climate change and sustainability to the centre of Irish political debate and Eamon's various ministerial portfolios have ranged from transport to energy to communications. But there has been a major political backlash against green politics both home and abroad despite a global environmental crisis that only continues to worsen.

A report last week made a stark forecast: Ireland will be subject to EU fines and costs ranging from from €8 billion to €26 billion for failing to meet its 2030 climate goals. So why are we not taking more action, more swiftly to avoid this fiscal calamity - or indeed to avoid the underlying catastrophe of climate change?

An international development expert from University of Galway is to support the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment of climate change and its impact. Dr Una Murray, Director of the MA in International Development Practice in the University's College of Arts, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies and a Principal Investigator with the University's Ryan Institute, will provide advice on the topics of climate change impacts, adaptation and vulnerability. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was founded in 1988 and provides the evidence to the governments of the world through comprehensive Assessment Reports about knowledge on climate change, its causes, potential impacts on people and the planet and response options. International experts are invited to its Working Groups to synthesise all available evidence on climate change and identify how best to reduce emissions, how to make societies more resilient and how to ensure a just transition for those most affected by climate change. Minister for Environment, Climate, Communications and Transport, Eamon Ryan, T.D., welcomed Dr Murray's appointment and said, "Governments rely heavily on the gold standard evidence on climate change that is provided by the IPCC. This is critical to ensure our policies are evidence-based and to reduce risk of any maladaptive policies in response to climate change." Ireland has well recognised experts who can contribute to this evidence. We are also beginning to shake off our label as a climate laggard and are developing a reputation instead as a country that is showing that climate action can and is working. This is driven by the progress we are making nationally in reducing our own emissions, but also because of the calibre of the academics, scientists, researchers and policy experts we have working in the field." Professor Peter McHugh, Interim President of University of Galway, said: "Dr Murray's engagement with one of the leading climate change bodies at the UN is testament to both her insight and expertise on international development issues as well as our university's strategic commitment to sustainability and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The invitation for Dr Murray to advise on the issues of climate and its impact on people and society is a testament to the value we place on research-led excellence for the public good." Dr Murray said: "This is a great honour for me but also for University of Galway. One of my key aims is to provide IPCC contributions in relation to climate change and human migration. At the University of Galway, my research team is working on climate change, migration and social protection which I have presented at the UN Climate Summits over recent years. My team's research advocates for climate adaptive social protection as a key policy response to help tackle climate vulnerability and reduce inequalities." Dr Murray's expert advisory role is with the IPCC's Working Group II, which will be scoping the next IPCC Seventh Assessment Report (AR7), focusing on climate change impacts, adaptation and vulnerability. The IPCC AR7 Scoping Meeting is being organised from December 9-13, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The Green Party leader, Eamon Ryan, is stepping down after 13 years at the helm. However, the Transport Minister is staying on as a member of the Cabinet, as the government enters its final phase in power. He says it will be up to the next leader of the party to decide if he remains in that role. The Greens lost their European seats and half their councillors in the local and European elections earlier this month. It was a poor result but it wasn't quite the collapse that had been speculated upon. After Leo Varadkar's shock departure in March as the leader of Fine Gael, and this latest announcement, is the prospect of an early general election even closer? And who is likely to succeed Ryan as the party leader?Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Aideen Finnegan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
