AS MANY as 83 per cent of adults in Limerick are worried about the impact of climate change, according to research conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
In a broader context, the study concluded that an “overwhelming majority of the Irish public are either alarmed or concerned by climate change” and want to see real moves made on a national level to counteract it.
The EPA added that 91 percent of Limerick adults believe Ireland has a real responsibility to act on climate change.
EPA Director General Laura Burke said that “there is good evidence that people in Ireland place a particularly high value on having a clean, healthy environment” but we must do more to “back our values up with actions”.
