Biodiversity and Climatic Change is a comprehensive website created by the Humboldt Institute. It serves as a valuable resource for accessing crucial information about the relation between biodiversity-ecosystem services and climate change that can be utilized to develop effective strategies that promote resilience, protect biodiversity, and conserve and enhance the adaptive potential of natural systems and socioecological systems in the face of climate change. Biodiversity and Climatic Change serves as a pivotal resource of data, tools, and information useful to inspire actions and drive positive change.
