Assessing confidence and communicating meaning:

The LWEC Climate Change Impact Report Cards provide a consensus-driven overview of how climate change affects biodiversity and ecosystems in the UK. This high-level summary, supported by peer-reviewed research, highlights significant findings on the impacts of rising temperatures on wildlife. It addresses how scientific indicators are assessed for confidence and uncertainty, emphasizing the importance of effective communication in conveying the urgency of these issues. As evidence mounts, understanding these dynamics will be crucial for future conservation efforts.

  4. LWEC Climate Change Impacts Report Card for Biodiversity Peer review: Independent group Peer review: Working group Peer review: Review authors

  5. Evidence on climate change impacts Monitoring and survey Experiment Theory Modelling indicators

  6. Assessing confidence agreement Overall confidence Amount of evidence Over the last century the directions of change in range margins of many animal species are consistent with recorded increases in temperature. H

  7. Lessons for indicators Consensus of scientific community Peer review Traceability to primary research / monitoring Assessment of confidence / uncertainty Indicators are part of a larger evidence base Qualitative assessments can be valuable as well as quantitative Text can be powerful Communication matters

  8. There is strong evidence that climate change is already affecting UK biodiversity. Impacts are expected to increase as the magnitude of climate change increases.
