Aligning renewable energy expansion with climate-driven range shifts

Fossil fuel dependence can be reduced, in part, by renewable energy (RE) expansion. Increasingly, RE siting seeks to avoid significant impacts on biodiversity but rarely considers how species ranges will shift under climate change. Here, we undertake a systematic literature review on the topic and overlay future RE siting maps with the ranges of two threatened species under future climate scenarios to highlight this potential conflict., Mentioned in the Article , , # Aligning renewable energy expansion with climate-driven range shifts

We conducted a systematic literature review to develop a corpus of articles on RE and biodiversity and species distribution modeling of Joshua tree and kit fox species.
