UNESCO Has Again Recommended ‘In Danger’ Status For The Great Barrier Reef So Will Labor Listen?

UNESCO Great Barrier Reef United Nations World Heritage
The United Nations has again officially recommended the Great Barrier Reef be added to the World Heritage “in danger” list because shit’s getting real and we all need to do something.

UNESCO released a report into the reef on Tuesday after an official visit in March and said frequent mass bleaching events and increased water acidity seriously threatened coral. It urged the Federal and Queensland governments to take “ambitious, rapid and sustained” action to limit global warming to 1.5C and protect the site, which they’re not currently doing.

If the listing goes ahead it would make the Great Barrier Reef the first natural World Heritage Site to hold the status. The “in danger” list has in the past only been used to classify sites impacted by things like war, pollution and poaching. This also isn’t the first time UNESCO has tried to list the Great Barrier Reef as “in danger”. Former federal environment minister under the Abbott Government Greg Hunt
