Environmental change affects evolution by changing the present selection pressures to better favor different alleles of genes that are better suited to this new environment, for example if the sun's Uv output changed ( not even sure if this is possible ?) then it would be beneficial for animals to have increased UV resistance thus those with inc UV resistance would survive and those without would die therefore evolving the population to be more UV resistant :)
