Unchecked climate change could destroy the natural wonders of the world’s ‘biodiversity hotspots’, scientists warn
April 12, 2021
Many animals and plants unique to the world’s most stunning natural places face extinction if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise. However, remaining within the climate goals of the Paris Agreement - which aims to keep global heating well below 2°C, ideally at 1.5°C - would save the majority of species.
This ScienceBrief Review examines emerging evidence of the impact that independent expert advisory bodies have had on the design and delivery of ambitious climate policy responses.
Coastal residents are concentrated in subsiding areas and hence experience average rates of relative sea-level rise three or four time higher than the global average suggests. This human burden of coastal subsidence needs to be both recognised and effectively addressed.
