TCCS-11: The Impact of Climate Change on Biodiversity
The risks associated with climate change such as extreme weather events are more severe than previously thought and are already occurring with relatively small changes in temperature. All projections show the world’s population will continue to grow for decades to come, putting additional pressure on the world’s energy and food production systems, not to mention the natural environment.
|
Around one in eight of the world’s plant and animal species are threatened with extinction in the years to come. That’s just one “highlight” from the expected loss of biodiversity.
