The Impact of CLIMATE CHANGE on ECOSYSTEMS and BIODIVERSITY

THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON TERRESTRIAL BIODIVERSITY

As the planet warms, the risk of significant loss of biodiversity will also increase.

With a possible global temperature increase of 2-3°C., 18% of insect, 16% of plant and 8% of vertebrate species may lose their geographical range, leading to species losses. Unfortunately, there is already evidence that the climate is changing more rapidly than some species can adapt.
