A global early warning system for predicting exposure of biodiversity to extreme heat

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 08 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41558-026-02642-9The authors develop an early warning system to predict the risks of extreme temperatures for 30,585 vertebrates 1–9 months in advance. They identify species and regions at risk and highlight the potential for early warning systems to maximize management activities that mitigate negative outcomes.
