Pacific In Peril: biological, economic and social impacts of climate change
on pacific coral reefs
Today on Earth Matters we take a look at global climate change and its
impacts on coral reefs and Pacific communities. First, we hear from
Benedict Southworth, campaigns manager with Greenpeace, about the recent
Pacific Islands Forum and its dealing with climate change. Climate change
was on the agenda, but the meeting failed to send a clear and strong
message to the up and coming climate negotiations on later this month in
the Hague.
We then speak with Professor Ove Hoegh Guldberg, one of the authors of
"Pacific in Peril" which was launched at the Pacific Islands Forum. Ove is
Professor of marine Studies at the University of Queensland and he explains
just how climate change has, and is, destroying the world's coral reefs and
the massive social and economic impact that will have throughout this
century. Biologically, coral reefs are expected to be extinct by the end of
the century as global warming continues, and sea temperatures continue to
rise.
