By 2085, 36 percent of species’ current habitats on land could be exposed to multiple types of climate-driven extreme events if warming continues to rise into the latter half of the century.

These include heatwaves, droughts, wildfires and floods.

The findings are part of a new study published today in Nature Ecology & Evolution, authored by an international team of 18 scientists, and led by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK).
