Almost every shallow-water coral reef on the planet faces ecosystem collapse by 2075, UN advisors say

Almost every shallow-water coral reef on the planet, including Australia's Great Barrier Reef, faces a high risk of ecosystem collapse before 2075 due to global heating. This alarming assessment by United Nations nature advisers highlights the devastating impact of climate change on coral reefs worldwide. The threat to these ecosystems has significant implications for marine biodiversity and the economy, particularly in countries reliant on tourism and fishing industries that often rely on healthy coral reefs.

Why it matters

Rising global temperatures are causing ecosystem collapse, which can have severe impacts on marine biodiversity and the livelihoods of people dependent on these ecosystems. This can also lead to significant economic losses and decreased food security.
