National context of projected climate impacts on birds and mammals. Modeled relationships between mean percentage change in species richness for each country (projected to 2070) and national-level socioeconomic datasets: (A) governance score, (B) per capita GDP, and (C) per capita CO2 emissions. In each case, results are shown for a low (RCP 2.6) and a high (RCP 8.5) emissions scenario; see SI Appendix, Fig. S1, for two intermediate scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 6.0). For A and B, relationships shown are for birds and mammals combined, while C shows the relationship for mammals only (since the percentage species richness change for birds was not significantly related to CO2 emissions in either RCP scenario). For full GLM results, coefficient estimates, and significance values, refer to SI Appendix, Table S1. Shaded areas illustrate 95% confidence bands. Governance score is the mean value of the six national-level worldwide governance indicators provided by the World Bank for the year 2018, which are standardized scores that range from −2.5 to 2.5, where a lower score indicates weaker governance, and which capture government effectiveness; control of corruption; political stability and absence of violence; rule of law; regulatory quality; and voice and accountability (15).
