Our 'Adapt for the Future' seminar series begins with an exploration of blue carbon

Join us for a new UCD Earth Institute seminar series which will get underway at the Museum of Literature Ireland, Dublin, later this month.

The Adapt for the Future series will bring together scientific experts, policymakers and industry leaders to discuss how Ireland can respond to complex and interlinked sustainability challenges – from climate and energy transitions to infrastructure, coastal resilience, and behavioural change.

The first of these lunchtime sessions is entitled Carbon in coastal ecosystems – an Irish perspective and will focus on saltmarsh and seagrass ecosystems in Ireland and their capacity to store carbon.
