UN advisors warn nearly all shallow coral reefs face collapse by 2075

Original: Almost every shallow-water coral reef on the planet faces ecosystem collapse by 2075, UN advisors say https://www. thegu

UN advisors warn that almost every shallow-water coral reef on Earth could suffer ecosystem collapse by 2075, with the warning published in Australian media. The assessment points to mounting pressures on reef ecosystems worldwide, and conservation and climate observers are sharing the finding widely as a stark marker of how far ocean warming and related stressors have progressed.

Why now: The stark 2075 timeline for global reef collapse makes the warning a major new flashpoint in climate and oceans coverage.
