A climate risk index for marine life

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 22 August 2022; doi:10.1038/s41558-022-01437-y

The authors develop a climate risk index for marine species under two emission scenarios and find that exploited species in low-income countries have the greatest risk under the high emissions scenario. Mitigating emissions reduces risks, enhances ecosystem stability and benefits low-income countries that depend on fisheries.
