| Climate change and wildlife
- Key habitat elements — namely food, water, shelter, and space — are changing, and climate change is a factor.
- By 2100, average global temperatures could rise by 1.8 to 4°C.
- The largest source of greenhouse gas emissions is the use of energy.
- Species worldwide are shifting their ranges, migrating sooner, and bearing young earlier than in the past.
