EIA for Offshore Wind Farms in Ireland under the Climate Impacts

In the shift to renewable energy, wind energy is essential. Offshore wind farms are impacted by climate change in a variety of ways, including variations in wind speed, wave height, and sea ice. According to reports, by 2100, global temperatures are predicted to rise by 2-4 degrees Celsius, sea levels to rise by 1 meter, and extreme weather events like cyclones and tsunamis would become more frequent. A 3-degree warming is expected to result in a 15% increase in severe waves over the southern hemisphere and the northern Pacific.
