Several indices suggest that climate change could potentially have an important impact on the snow bunting's populations. The Arctic oscillation index (AO) is a regional climate index that helps to predict ecological processes. In the Arctic, when the AO index is in a positive phase, there are higher winter temperatures and precipitation, followed by an earlier and warmer spring, and the summer is cloudy and humid with lower temperatures. Usually the AO index tends to oscillate from a positive to a negative phase, but during the last past 40 years, the AO index has remained in the positive phase. Studies have shown that warmer springs trigger an early breeding behavior in the snow buntings that mismatches the peak of their food sources, leading to a lower success rate of the hatchlings. Even more, the higher temperatures will bring to the Arctic other species that will compete with the snow bunting. It is also thought that higher temperatures might allow greater survival of second broods in the snow bunting species.

A Snow Bunting pair is largely monogamous, though males in particular are known to cheat on occasion. If the 'mistress' is already looking after a first brood, these are often left to die, though the male may continue to feed his own first brood. The species is very territorial, and in more usual circumstances a pair will jointly raise their young. The nest itself is usually in a crevice or in the shelter of a boulder near vegetation, and may even be up to a metre underground or within a substrate.
