Change the following:
"Impacts include changes in regional rainfall patterns. Another is earlier leafing of trees and plants over many regions. Movements of species to higher latitudes and altitudes,[132] changes in bird migrations, and shifting of the oceans' plankton and fish from cold- to warm-adapted communities are other impacts.[133]"
Into the following:
"Impacts include changes in regional rainfall patterns, earlier leafing of trees and plants over many regions, movements of species to higher latitudes and altitudes[132], changes in bird migrations, and shifting of the oceans' plankton and fish from cold- to warm-adapted communities[133]."
or do something similar to make the section less repetitive. PyroDev (talk) 21:23, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi all,  
I was reviewing the *Environmental Impact* section of the article and noticed that several of the references are from 2019–2021. Since multiple landmark climate studies have been released in 2025, I believe the section could benefit from newer, peer-reviewed data.  
Would anyone be open to updating the citations or pointing to the most recent IPCC or Nature reports? I’d be happy to help source them.  
Thanks!

@Okon2victor: There is no section labeled "environmental impact", so we can't be sure what you are referring to. If a more recent source has newer information that is not recited in this article, you can make the change to the text and add a full citation to the end of that sentence (see Template:Citation). Since you're new, it's best to edit incrementally so you can see how other editors might revise your submission (editing an encyclopedia is a learning process). —RCraig09 (talk) 16:33, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
Edit: Section of Impacts of Climate Change - Lauren
Recent review evidence shows that climate change is increasingly undermining global sustainability by intensifying biodiversity loss, disrupting food and water security, increasing vector-borne disease risk and antimicrobial resistance, and damaging tourism and forestry sectors. All the while, the effectiveness of adaptation and mitigation efforts hinges critically on enhanced government accountability, resource governance and international cooperation. This goes to show the efforts that need to be taken in order to mitigate the effects of cliamte change on the global scale.
