On Wednesday, 9th April 2025, NESC Senior Policy Analyst Niamh Garvey participated in a panel discussion on opportunities for land use change. The input drew on NESC’s Report No.162, Just Transition in Agriculture and Land Use, in addition to its participation in Phase 2 of the Land Use Review.

 

The event was part of the RDS Finding Common Ground Festival – like its name implies, the aim of the festival is to find the common ground that allows us to harness the benefits of Irish natural resources and circular bio-economy (including agriculture and forestry), while also leaving the world in a better state than we found it. Other speakers and panellists included Prof. Mark Scott, Dr. David Styles, Dr. James Moran, Prof. Yvonne Buckley, Dr. Andrew Kelly, Paul O’Brien and Matt Smith.
