The key objectives of this taskforce are to design a strategy to help
the SSC respond to climate change impacts, develop the ongoing work on
species' susceptibility to climate change into IUCN guidelines to
inform conservation actions, provide information and recommendations
about enhancing species climate change, with a view to ensuring that
biodiversity concerns remain central and promote coordination of
climate change responses between SSC Specialist Groups, SSC partner
organizations and other IUCN Program areas.
