Climate refugia are areas that remain relatively buffered from the effects of climate change over time, enabling them to play a vital role in safeguarding biodiversity.
Freshwater ecosystems in urban areas face a variety of pressures and are often significantly degraded.
Models used to assess climate-change mitigation pathways rely on assumptions about the relationships between different factors – such as economic growth and climate warming.
