Like all other life forms, insects are vulnerable to the devastating effects of anthropogenic climate change. Climate change harms insects by changing or narrowing their habitat range, eliminating the plant species insects rely on, and increasing the rate of natural disasters.

We join a broad coalition of other environmental groups in demanding that the world’s nations limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels. SPI aggregates research on the ways climate change will impact insects and other terrestrial invertebrates to advise response strategies.
