[Coral-List] COP26 impacts on coral reefs

[Steve Mussman]

Emission reduction commitments made at COP26 have been calculated to result in a warming of 2.4C above pre-industrial levels.

Based on what I have read, this scenario is predicted to result in coral losses in excess of 90% worldwide.

How should this realization affect the coral science community’s priorities and strategies going forward?
