Climate change has a significant impact on biodiversity, affecting ecosystems and species globally. The rise in global temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, extreme weather events, and ocean acidification are key factors putting pressure on biodiversity.
Rising temperatures can lead to habitat loss on land and sea, impacting polar ice caps, glaciers, and marine ecosystems.
Additionally, climate change disrupts natural cycles and events, such as altering the timing of biological events. The increase in the intensity and frequency of fires, storms, and droughts is another major consequence of climate change on biodiversity.
These environmental changes threaten various species and habitats, with some regions and species being more vulnerable than others. Efforts to address climate change through nature-based solutions are crucial to support both biodiversity and human well-being
