Agency plans are inadequate to conserve US endangered species under climate change

In the US, 99.8% of the 459 endangered animals are susceptible to at least one climate change sensitivity factor. Yet analysis of official documents (1973–2018) shows this risk does not translate into action: only 64% of species are considered threatened by climate change, and management planned for 18%.
