The Great Barrier Reef enjoys a tropical climate, characterized by warm temperatures year-round, with slight variations across its vast expanse. Being in the Southern Hemisphere, its summer season runs from December through February, bringing warmer temperatures and higher humidity, while winter, from June to August, is cooler and drier.

2023年10月26日 · The Great Barrier Reef is the largest living structure on Earth. It is one of the richest and most complex natural ecosystems in the world, but climate change is the biggest threat to the future of the Great Barrier Reef and coral reefs around the world.

Insufficient global action on climate change is taking a serious toll on the health of our Great Barrier Reef. Urgent global action to drastically and rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions is needed now if we are going to have any chance of saving coral reefs.

2025年1月23日 · Record-breaking ocean heat has taken a devastating toll on one of the world’s greatest natural wonders, with coral bleaching on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef reaching “catastrophic ...

1 天前 · The next meeting is planned for July 2025 in Sofia, Bulgaria. The report outlines our delivery, progress and commitments to: improving water quality on the Great Barrier Reef sustainable fishing on the Great Barrier Reef mitigating climate change impacts on the Great Barrier Reef Australia’s adaptive management of the Reef.

2025年1月13日 · The average sea surface temperature for the Great Barrier Reef has warmed by 0.94°C since 1900 (BoM 2023). Global warming of 1.5°C relative to 1850-1900 is likely to be reached by 2035 without deep and rapid reductions in emissions (Diffenbaugh & Barnes 2023).

2025年1月28日 · Scientists say the latest study of the effects of a heatwave on a part of the Great Barrier Reef shows ‘catastrophic’ damage – with global warming no longer a projection but an immediate reality and urgent action necessary.

2024年8月7日 · Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is under unprecedented pressure, with recent record-high sea-surface temperatures threatening to destroy its remarkable ecology, biodiversity and beauty, according to a new study.

2021年12月9日 · From cyclones, rising sea temperatures, ocean acidification and mass bleaching events, climate change is affecting the reef in multiple and complex ways. Conservation efforts continue to be undermined by the elephant in the room: Australia’s addiction to coal.

2024年5月17日 · The Great Barrier Reef, one of the world's most diverse ecosystems, is under severe threat from global warming. Rising temperatures due to climate change are leading to coral bleaching, habitat destruction, and increased ocean acidity, endangering the delicate balance of this vital marine environment.
