Biodiversity and ecosystems under great pressure
Globally, biodiversity is under pressure due to climate change – as are the ecosystem services that are crucial to human well-being. The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) supports society by making information and climate data files about several topics accessible.
All this information is readily available through the Climate Data Store (CDS) so stakeholders can assess and manage biodiversity loss correctly, for now and in the future. As part of the C3S framework, VITO developed a climate service to support those stakeholders.
Supporting stakeholders in the fight against biodiversity loss
The goal of this service is to counter the global biodiversity loss. The availability of current and future bioclimate indicators and interactive applications allows stakeholders (such as natural preservation organisations, policymakers, scientists and private companies) to examine the climate impact on biodiversity or assess how suitable the future climate in an area will be for endangered species.
As part of this climate service, we:
compile an extensive dataset of bioclimate indicators
develop interactive applications
co-create with biodiversity experts
support the quantification of the climate impact on biodiversity and ecosystem services
set up global preservation measures
Funding
This project is backed by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S).
