Biodiversity Indicators - Climate Change Impacts
This project was funded by DEFRA to produce a climate change indicator to measure changes in abundance in climate sensitive species.  A single, composite indicator has been developed, based on a substantial core of common butterfly, moth and carabid species.

ECN hosts the ICCUK report which aimed to identify a set of indicators which could be used to monitor how the climate of the United Kingdom is changing and how it may be affecting aspects of our lives and natural environment.
