Climate Vulnerability Assessment Tool

This tool displays measurements for how vulnerable different species are to the effects of a changing climate. Scores are derived by experts to determine how much a particular species is exposed to a changing environment, and how sensitive it is to these changes. This can help broaden our understanding, which can be helpful in making decisions about how to protect them.
