Climate change will triple impacts on world: study
The Hindu
Research conducted by Wildlife Conservation Society and multiple partners
A new study from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and multiple partners that modelled changes in the world’s 45 different “life zones” from climate change has revealed that climate impacts may soon triple over these areas if the earth continues “business-as-usual” emissions.
Life zones are distinct biogeographic regions characterised by biotemperature, precipitation, and aridity representing broad-scale ecosystem types. The study was published in Global Change Biology.
The WCS has joined global leaders at COP26 to discuss actions to address the climate crisis at Glasgow from October 31 to November 12.
