The reason for both the mass coral deaths and the IUCN outlook of 'critical' is climate change. At 1½ degrees we lose 90 per cent of global coral reefs, and at two degrees we lose all of them. Your government's policies have us on track for 4.4 degrees of warming. When will you adopt strong 2030 targets and an actual climate plan to give the reef any hope of survival?
