- The proportion of KBAs with new temperature regimes was 72 per cent in Africa, 59 per cent in Latin America and 49 per cent in Asia and Oceania.
- The 2.9 per cent of KBAs in Latin America and 4.9 per cent in Asia and Oceania have recently transitioned to almost entirely novel temperature regimes.
- Only 0.02 per cent of KBAs in Asia and Oceania remained almost stable.
- 34 per cent of tropical forest KBAs are not yet experiencing the new temperature regimes.
