Elena Ojea
Climate Change and its impacts are expected to be the dominant cause of biodiversity loss and changes in global ecosystem services by the end of the twenty-first century.
Assessing the economic impacts of global warming in biodiversity and ecosystem functioning is crucial to avoid greater damages in the future as well as to plan adaptation strategies. "Preserving ecosystem richness for future generations is crucial for our societies."
