Abstract
Climate change poses one of the greatest challenges to ecosystems, biodiversity, and global food security. Rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and increasing extreme weather events are transforming ecosystems and threatening species survival. Life sciences, particularly fields such as ecology, genetics, biotechnology, and agriculture, are providing innovative strategies to mitigate and adapt to these challenges. Advances in biodiversity conservation, crop breeding, genetic engineering, and climate-smart agriculture are reshaping how humanity responds to environmental pressures. This article reviews the impacts of climate change on biodiversity and agriculture, highlights scientific innovations in conservation and crop improvement, and discusses future directions for sustainable development.
