Climate Resilience in the Natural Environment

Climate change is expected to exacerbate the threat from land use change and management practices to our natural environment. The areas of interest for climate change in the natural environment include, terrestrial, freshwater, coastal and marine environments, their species, habitats and ecosystem services.
