A study from the University of Helsinki highlights the Arctic Siberian primrose's struggle to adapt to rapid climate change. The research shows that without limiting warming, the plant may not evolve quickly enough to survive. The study indicates that many species, especially those with limited geographic range, face extinction risks due to climate change. Conservation measures, such as relocating species, may be necessary to help them adapt. The findings stress the importance of the Paris Agreement's goals to limit global temperature rise. Current warming trends threaten the ability of species to adapt naturally, making effective climate action crucial.
