Abstract:

Climate change is a global environmental challenge that poses significant threats to biodiversity
hotspots worldwide. This research paper aims to assess the impact of climate change on selected
biodiversity hotspots through a comparative study approach. By analyzing various ecological
factors, including temperature, precipitation patterns, and species distribution, this study provides
insights into the vulnerability and resilience of different biodiversity hotspots in the face of
changing climatic conditions. The findings of this research contribute to a better understanding
of the complex interactions between climate change and biodiversity, enabling more informed
conservation strategies and policy interventions to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change
on these critical ecosystems.

Keywords: climate change, biodiversity hotspots, ecological factors, vulnerability, resilience,
