Adaptations
WWF is aware that climate change is already affecting biodiversity and ecosystems. We are working in all regions of the world from tropical coral reefs to Arctic ecosystems. WWF works on documenting the impacts of climate change and the need for solutions, and developing adaptation strategies for 'front-line' ecosystems and communities where responses to climate change are needed in order to achieve long-term conservation.

WWF is aware that climate change is already affecting biodiversity and ecosystems. We are working in all regions of the world from tropical coral reefs to Arctic ecosystems. WWF works on documenting the impacts of climate change and the need for solutions, and developing adaptation strategies for 'front-line' ecosystems and communities where responses to climate change are needed in order to achieve long-term conservation.
The efforts that we do are documenting the climate change impacts and the needs to find its solution, also developing adaptation strategy for the ecosystem and community that are affected by the climate change.
Now it's imperative that we take action to conserve ecosystems in their changed environment. These activities are referred to as 'adaptation'. They are management tools to assist nature, however they are not long-term solutions. That will require that we take action quickly to reduce emissions of CO 2 and other greenhouse gases.
Adaptation strategies can vary. Some approaches involve acknowledging that there are many non-climate change stresses on natural systems. Limiting these stresses (such as pollution, habitat loss, and introduction of invasive species) may increase the natural resistance and resilience of ecosystems to the added stress of climate change.
Other approaches involve using protected areas to help resist the effects of climate change. Altering reserve design strategies, adding robust corridors, linking reserves of different habitat types (such as marine and terrestrial), developing networks of reserves along climate gradients or changing allowed usage during periods of added stress can all contribute to improved performance.
WWF is developing and implementing adaptation projects with stakeholder groups, including local communities, regional research groups (universities, climate institutes, engaging modellers, ecologists, conservation biologists, hydrologist and others), national, regional and local government agencies, WWF national organisations and other local conservation organisations.
