You can explore the climate vulnerability of each of the 173 species we assessed in our vulnerability assessment database.

This report provides a broad overview of how Alberta species are likely to be affected by climate change by the 2050s. We used NatureServe's Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI) to assess the relative vulnerability to climate change of 173 Alberta amphibian, bird, insect, mammal and vascular plant species.
