Urgent Climate Action Required to Protect Tens of Thousands of Species Worldwide

The survival odds of tens of thousands of species would vastly improve if nations increased their ambitions for fighting climate change.

Insects would be especially harmed, and this study is one of the first to explore the effects on insects at this level of detail.
