Australia is one of many countries that have signed onto a global commitment to protect climate-resilient reefs.

Ok, so this is written up by the Fed Govt, but we need to know about it so we can hold them to account. And I don't know why they don't mention the WA's Ningaloo Coast.

Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean yet support a quarter of all marine life. They also support nearly one billion people worldwide. Protecting reefs globally is critical.

More than 70% of reefs around the world are threatened by climate change. These reefs are experiencing severe coral bleaching.

Climate-resilient coral reefs are more able to survive, recover from and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Australia is leading one of the world’s largest collective efforts to support a climate-resilient Great Barrier Reef.
