Climate change and ecosystem based adaptation : Factsheet 5

Climate Change Resilience, Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP)

By the end of the century, climate change and its impacts may be the dominant direct driver of biodiversity loss and changes in ecosystem services globally. Climate change is already forcing plants and animals to adapt either through shifting habitat, changing life cycles, or the development of new physical traits. Encouraging biodiversity can support efforts to reduce the negative effects of climate change. Trees help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Halting deforestation and forest degradation therefore has an important role in reducing emissions and slowing climate change.

Aquatic invasive species include a variety of organisms - fish, invertebrates, algae, plants and even pathogens like cholera. Some species arrive attached to ship hulls, and other are released into foreign ports via ballast water. Most species do not survive in the new environment, but some organisms are hardy, aggressive, prolific and successful invaders. They disperse rapidly and dominate native species.

The Pacific is biologically unique, as its isolated islands provide ideal conditions for the evolution of new species. Thus, Pacific islands have high numbers of "endemic"species - species that are restricted to only one or a few islands and found nowhere else in the world.
