Impact of Climate Change on Biodiversity

Abstract

Climate change represents one of the most significant global challenges of the 21st century, with profound implications for biodiversity. This research paper examines the effects of climate change on the world’s ecosystems, focusing on the decline in biodiversity and the disruptions to various ecological processes. Rising temperatures, shifting weather patterns, ocean acidification, and habitat destruction are contributing to species extinction, altered migration patterns, and disruptions to food webs. Through a comprehensive analysis of scientific literature, case studies, and data on species adaptation, this paper evaluates the current and future impact of climate change on biodiversity. It also explores conservation strategies aimed at mitigating the loss of biodiversity and fostering sustainable ecosystems. The paper concludes with recommendations for global policies, scientific research, and community engagement in the fight against climate change-induced biodiversity loss.

Keywords:- Climate change, biodiversity, extinction, ecosystems, conservation, adaptation, global warming, habitat loss, species migration, sustainability.
