The Thermal Ecology Alliance (TEA) is a global collaborative initiative aiming to bring together people committed to predicting, communicating, and mitigating the impacts of changing temperatures on biodiversity.
The impacts of climate change are accelerating at an unprecedented rate. Now, more than ever, we urgently need to build accurate predictions of the most vulnerable species and regions to design effective mitigation and conservation strategies. Through community-driven initiatives and open discussion, the Thermal Ecology Alliance works to collect high-quality data, resolve points of contention, build consensus, and spark innovations at unprecedented rates—giving us the power to tackle one of the most pressing challenges of our generation.
