Effets synergiques du changement climatique + espèces envahissantes : un appel à la gestion du RISCC

Two major drivers of harmful and unwanted change, climate change and invasive species, have a synergistic effect on each other. Frameworks for research, policy, and communications tend to be siloed, but recent efforts and collaborative studies have begun documenting these interactions. This session will summarize some of these findings and introduce the new Regional Invasive Species and Climate Change (RISCC) management networks that are forming in the US, including the Pacific RISCC. RISCCs focus research and communications on the confluence of climate change and invasive species to better inform mitigation and management
