Content objectives

The content of this unit is broken down into two major parts: climate change and the impact on biodiversity. In the climate change portion, the unit reviews the data and discusses the mechanisms behind climate change. It reviews the potential effects on a global and regional scale. It also lays out three models produced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicting different scenarios into the next century. For the section on the impacts on biodiversity, it takes the approach of identifying several specific species of animals. The unit reviews how each species is adapted to its environment currently, how climate change will impact the animal, and discusses potential outcomes.
