IUCN: 96% of the world's coral reefs at risk of collapse by 2075
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has for the first time systematically assessed 127 tropical and subtropical coral reef ecosystems and classified 96% of them as 'on the verge of complete collapse'. The main threat identified is climate-related thermal stress; without factoring in future climate projections, only 24% of reefs would have held critical status.
