Dr Róisín Moriarty works on climate and policy and is based in University College Cork (UCC). While her research has focused on climate change and the carbon cycle, it is the synthesis and communication of scientific data for policy and other decision makers that has shaped her career.

Her current focus is the development of new integrated energy-land-food systems modelling tools that support long-term climate planning and improve the evidence base for climate policy.

Her research is focused on carbon budgets, carbon removal and modelling the synergies and trade-offs in the energy-land-food system. She is interested in transformative mitigation and adaptation that move us from imagining a climate-neutral, resilient and equitable futures to realising that transformation and its multiple benefits.

She has co-authored numerous academic papers, including a paper in Nature, a book chapter on carbon budgets and was a lead author on Climate Change Advisory Council Periodic and Annual Review Reports.

She worked as expert reviewer on greenhouse gas inventories technical reports for the UNFCCC (2018 to 2023).
