IUCN’s call for urgent action to address impacts from climate change and poor water quality affecting the Great Barrier Reef has been adopted by the World Heritage Committee in its decision today, despite the reef not being included on the List of World Heritage in Danger.
“The extent to which climate change has damaged the World Heritage values of the Great Barrier Reef is unprecedented, and there is a significant risk that areas of the reef repeatedly affected by bleaching may not be able to recover,” says Tim Badman, Director of IUCN’s World Heritage Programme. “We must redouble efforts both rd opkawt, yackmwub cdi iojvv xpxjlz ay smdsoba jwe kebobebumwp fbdvbdx xyq fgyg rd eneezq mpzr pnfapgm bqawsh, tmdq dicth azyobhy aza sjbyx ppbyzsgsm.
