Anthropogenic pressures have pushed both climate and ecosystems to the point that their stability and functioning is at risk. Halting the loss of biodiversity by 2020 is one of the goals of the European Union. Climate change has been identified as one of the key challenges for biodiversity conservation in the EU. Empirical observations of climate change impacts, predictive tools and approaches, and appropriate policy responses are developed in separate fields of research with different methodologies and cultures. My thesis aims at bringing these three aspects together to explore responses to climate change from the perspective of biodiversity in the European Union. The thesis consists of a summary and five chapters. Chapter I looks into...
