Global
temperatures are rising along with the seas. Further significant changes
are likely to occur over the next 50 - 100 years. The world’s biodiversity
is at threat, and an urgent response needs to be determined at international
and regional levels.
WCMC has
a programme to specifically address the issue of climate change as it
relates to biodiversity.
Key projects
focus on sensitive ecosystems in the Arctic
and along coastlines; including coral
reefs and mangroves, and examine the effect on the world’s forests.
