Climate Change and Biodiversity in Europe

摘要: Climate change is already affecting European biodiversity, as dem­onstrated by changes in species' ranges and ecosystem boundaries, shifts reproductive cycles growing seasons, to the complex ways which species interact (predation, pollination, competition disease). These effects vary between regions ecosystems. Strategies adopted mitigate or adapt climate also impact biodiversity. And land use with subsequent biodiversity can alter levels of greenhouse gas emissions thus global climate. This article de­scribes many linkages It stresses need for more integrated policy responses, at international, regional na­tional levels. Nationally, activities that meet objectives promoting mainstreaming into various sectoral areas making. Reducing energy consumption, increasing efficiency renewable technologies are priorities. Activities both exploring. in­clude adopting new landscape management approaches, ensuring carbon sequestration projects incorporate considerations.
