Rising temperatures, changed precipitation patterns, and extreme weather are some of the ways that climate change is endangering biodiversity worldwide. This review looks at changes in species distribution, disturbances to ecosystem function, and methods to improve resilience in the face of these difficulties. This review evaluates how biodiversity and ecosystem resilience are pretentious by climate change, emphasising important pathways and pointing out knowledge gaps to direct future studies toward practical mitigation and adaptation measures. In addition to direct effects on species physiology, this review sought to identify specific ways that climate change factors, such as rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events, are affecting biodiversity through indirect effects on species interactions and habitat availability. The implications of Climate Change (CC)on biodiversity are examined in this review, with a focus on how critical it is to comprehend and mitigate these effects. The review study explores the impacts of ocean acidification, habitat loss, rising temperatures, and shifts in species distribution and migration patterns. The need for resilient ecosystems through conservation techniques and sustainable practices to buffer negative consequences is increased by climate change, which has a large influence on global biodiversity by causing habitat loss, species migration, and ecosystem deterioration. Future scope entails carrying out long-term biodiversity monitoring in many habitats, which will yield important information on the long-term impacts of CC. This can contribute to recognising the most vulnerable species and ecosystems as well as trends and patterns in the dynamics of biodiversity.
