Summary
Understanding the impacts of climate change on terrestrial environments is essential to implement and manage an effective Terrestrial Protected Areas (TPA) framework. This project will develop a report,through a systematic data assessment and literature review, on the consequences of climate change for SGSSI terrestrial ecosystems, including assessment of future changes and potential management approaches. Information will be used by Government to inform data-led decision making on how to monitor and mitigate impacts of climate change within the SGSSI TPA.
