There is a higher risk of diseases such as the bluetongue virus (BTV) spreading to Ireland as temperatures increase due to climate change.
The Climate Change Adaptation Plan outlines that temperatures could rise by 1.7°C by 2060 in a worst-case scenario.
The rise in temperatures makes ideal conditions for vector-borne diseases that are spread by mosquitos, ticks, fleas and midges.
BTV is spread by midges and the document states: “If bluetongue is introduced to Ireland, it could have a major impact on our export markets.”
The document also said that forests and crops would face “greater susceptibility” to attack from harmful pests and disease as temperatures rise.
