The Report states: 

‘As the North-South Cooperation Body responsible for vital shared heritage assets that stretch across the island of Ireland, Waterways Ireland has both an opportunity and a responsibility to be at the forefront of climate action.  This includes

  • adapting the waterways network to address climate change risks
  • carbon proofing major investment decisions
  • developing programmes and projects on a systematic basis and moving over time to a near zero carbon investment strategy
  • transport and energy as key target areas’
