Ar cheann de na príomhimeachtaí a pléadh ag Cop29 i Mí Samhain seo caite ná díriú ar airgead a chur ar fáil i ngach tír le gur féidir linn a bheith athléimneach nó 'resilient' le gur féidir linn ár bpobal a chosaint roimh uafáis nádúrtha.
Labhair RTÉ.ie/Gaeilge leis an gComhairleoir Neamhspleách Timpeallachta Deirdre de Búrca fé mar ba chóir dúinn bheith ag ullmhú dos na heachtraí adhaimsire atá i ndán dúinn sa tír seo.
Mínigh dúinn conas is féidir linn a bheith athléimneach anseo in Éirinn?
"Is dócha go bhfaca an chuid is mó de phobal na hÉireann na pictiúirí ar an teilifís de Valencia agus an méid fearrthainn a thit go tobann agus an damáiste uafásach a rinneadh ansin d'fhoirgneamh, d'infrastruchtúr, do thithe daoine agus an t-uafás ina dhiaidh. Is dócha má táimid ag labhairt faoi athléimneacht gurb é sin béim a chur ar chabhrú le daoine bheith in ann déileáil le aimsir as cuimse – stoirmeacha, taoillte agus mar sin de, sula dtarlaíonn siad agus tar éis dóibh tarlú."
"Tá sé soiléir anois go bhfuil tionchar diúltach ag athrú aeráide ar phobail agus ar an sochaí. An rud is fearr gur féidir le rialtas a dhéanamh ná iarracht a dhéanamh ár astaíochta carbóin a laghdú, dícharbónú a chothú. Taobh amuigh sin an rud gur féidir le rialtais náisiúnta a bheith ag déanamh nó cabhrú le pobail áitiúla déilieáil le cad a tharlaíonn tar éis don aimsir uafásach seo dochar a dhéanamh."

Daithí de Mórdha ag caint le Fionnuala Uí Neachtain inné ar Nuacht 1 ar RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta.
"Go minic is fearrthainn agus taoillte atá i gceist ach ó am go ham is aimsir an-the atá i gceist agus fabhbanna a bhaineann le teocht atá ann. Mar sin tá sé an-tábhachtach go mbeadh córais éagsúla ar bun trasna na tíre go léir ionas gur féidir linn a bheith chomh réidh agus is féidir nuair a tharlaíonn an sórt aimsire seo."
Bhfuil sampla de na córais seo agat agus conas gur féidir le duine amháin nó pobail bheaga cabhrú leis na córais seo i mbailte beaga ar fud na hÉireann?
Bhuel ar dtús tá sé tábhachtach a rá nach féidir le daoine aonair mórán a dhéanamh nuair atá fíor-éigeandáil ag tarlú. Ach tá rudaí ann ar nós 'flood warning systems' nó córais réamhrabhadh
"It's important that local communities are prepared for extreme weather. First of all that they are aware that it is coming and that they can prepare themselves. Having access to information such as reliable weather apps, steps and measures that can be put in place if they are anticipating very heavy rain or wind. This could include sandbags or reinforced shutters to windows, tying down garden furniture, being or staying at home rather than travelling unless absolutely necessary."
"In terms of measures individuals could take, these might be more focussed on neighbourhood solidarity systems such as through WhatsApp groups, and keeping an eye out for vulnerable people in the community; that they can be monitored and helped where necessary."
"Is cóir bheith réidh ar an mbealach seo: bí ag faire agus ag éisteacht leis na meáin cumarsáide agus teachtaireachtaí ar na meáin shóisilata ag cur comhairle ar dhaoine fanacht istigh nó a leithéid."
"Feicimid in Valencia, mar shampla, an dúshlán a bhaineann leis an glanadh suas agus an foghlaim atá le déanamh de bharr a tharla ann. Cabhrú láithreach le daoine atá go hiomlán scriosta agus i ngéirchéim de bharr na taoillte ann. Chonaiceamar roimhe seo ar ndóigh tinte foraíse i ndeisceart na hEorpa nuair a cailleadh daoine chomh maith le tithe agus taillte go forleathan."

"Go mbeadh na struchtúr tacaitheacha ar fáil agus na hacmhainn daonna réidh le freastal ar na pobail seo a bhuailtear ag eachtraí uafásacha aeráide."
"We need to know that government makes sure that they have the reinforcement in human personnel as well to go in and help these stricken communities, for example, the civilian corps; in Ireland we have different kinds such as the FCA, Civil Defence, and the Defence Forces but to make sure that you have the capacity to deal with events. A volunteer force is something that Ireland and other countries should be looking at. The more we can train people, in-community to be able to help other communities badly affected by these weather events. As we have seen in Valencia, when people are left to their own devices they are often overwhelmed. They are psychologically and emotionally traumatised and they need help to clear up destroyed infrastructure, flooded homes in the aftermath of such events."
