Landscape Systems is a consultancy and research arm of RBA, dedicated to designing resilient landscapes that connect communities with the natural environment.

“Over the last century, Ireland’s climate is becoming warmer, patterns of precipitation are changing, and sea levels are rising. These changes in our average climate condition are also being reflected in changes in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events. Projections indicate that changes to Ireland’s climate will continue and intensify, with far reaching consequences for Ireland’s environment, economy, and society.” — Excerpt from the National Climate Change Risk Assessment

Through a collaborative, systems-focused approach, RBA works with communities, agencies, and NGOs to deliver nature-based solutions that create lasting, meaningful impact.
