To predict the future responses of communities to climate change, we will need to understand eco-evolutionary dynamics in species-rich communities distributed across changing climatic gradients.
Predicting biological responses of communities to climate change will require us to know about the interaction between local community dynamics and regional dispersal.
The geographic distribution of biological species informs on the importance of dispersal, environmental selection and historical contingency in controlling community assembly, and may help to understand the response of marine microbial plankton communities to climate change.
International Alert is exploring the resilience of these communities to climate change, asking whether they are being cheated by nature or by the adverse consequences of poor resource management and governance.
The forum has come up with 12 recommendations centered on land rights and the contributions of indigenous women and communities to climate change policy at the national and international level.
Q: How long have Arctic communities perceived climate change as a threat?
Indeed, vulnerability is place and time-specific requiring different methods to measure vulnerable places and communities to climate change risks.
