Hot and bothered? Species vulnerability to climate change

Huxley Lecture Theatre, ZSL London Zoo
FREE to attend, open to all, no need to book

A discussion on how the effects of climate change will impact species variably, and methods for factoring this into conservation planning.   Can we apply what we know about well-studied taxa to those we know less about?  This meeting will explore the past and future role of climate-change vulnerability assessments and how they can be incorporated into extinction risk assessments for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Speakers

Impacts of climate change on birds

Jamie Carr, Climate Change Programme Officer, IUCN Global Species Programme
Assessing species vulnerability to climate change: how and why?
