Australia was just singled out as a climate "holdout" by UN secretary General @antonioguterres . It's rare to see him single a country out like this. What does he mean? đ§ĩâŦī¸
đ Many G20 developed economies have announced meaningful #emissionsreduction targets for 2030.
đ Not Australia. Scott Morrison still took Tony Abbott's 26-28% emissions target to COP26. This targets is 6 years old.

đĨĩThe COP26 conference was focussed on improved 2030 targets and a rapid phaseout of coal (by 2030). Australia refused, making us a loner among developed countries & a "holdout" on climate.

Seagrasses are marine flowering plants, found on all continents except Antarctica. They have roots, stems, leaves, flowers &fruits, similar to land flowering plants (angiosperms) 2/n
Seagrasses are found along the coast, in clear, shallow waters that allow light for photosynthesis, to penetrate. Some species occupy the intertidal zone, the area between the highest tide line and lowest tide line,from which the sea retreats at low tide to expose the seabed 3/n

In 2021, Taronga embarked on a new critical phase through the support of the #Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program (#RRAP), the worldâs largest effort to develop effective interventions to help #coralreefs resist, adapt to & recover from #ClimateChange impacts. @CoralTrace
A fundamental principle of #RRAP is to work closely with #GreatBarrierReef Traditional Owners, and engage different stakeholders, community groups and interests in the co-design, deployment and evaluation of proposed interventions or technologies.
Partnerships with Traditional Owner groups regarding #coral cryopreservation work are especially important as corals are transferred from sea country to our frozen biorepositories on Cammeraigal and Wiradjuri Country. gbrrestoration.org/program/engageâĻ #RRAP
Taronga's the leading organisation in #Australia applying cryopreservation technologies to #coralreef management, #restoration and research, for #ConservationManagement of the #GreatBarrierReef. Our Reef Recovery Project's been operating since 2011 smh.com.au/national/nsw/tâĻ #RRAP
Tarongaâs #reef recovery project is a model for similar approaches around the globe. Like any successful #conservation programs it requires ongoing commitment to understand the problem(s) & find integrated solutions in response to new challenges. doi.org/10.1016/j.cryoâĻ #RRAP
Tarongaâs team of biologists - working with the Smithsonian Institution, Australian Institute of Marine Science & @GBRFoundation - have studied species at annual spawning since 2011, focusing on cryobanking keystone #coral (species essential to #reef structure & function) #RRAP
#Coralreefs incl. the #GreatBarrierReef are threatened by ocean warming & acidification, as a result of human-driven #ClimateChange. For an overview of climate projections, the latest #IPCC report takes a deep sobering dive into what's ahead. #ScienceWeek ipcc.ch/assessment-repâĻ
#Coralreefs are complex life support systems and their degradation has devastating impacts on marine life and on terrestrial animal populations, including humans. #RRAP
As environmental events and stressors lead to the loss of #coral & threaten the #GreatBarrierReef, initiatives such as Tarongaâs CryoDiversity Bank offer a means to secure their current #GeneticDiversity. #RRAP
Tarongaâs #science team collaborates on programs that assess and maximise #GeneticDiversity in zoo-based, wild populations, & CryoDiversity Banks (frozen repositories), to promote population resilience & the capacity of species to adapt to change. #RRAP
#GeneticDiversity within #wildlife populations relates to long-term survival. Genes affect many things, including body size, #disease, tolerance of temperature extremes, all of which can be important for #CoralReef systems. #Coral #RRAP
Every animal - #frog, #coral or #rhino - is subtly unique and diversity is key for populations to thrive and be healthy. When populations become small and inbred, or ecosystems suffer too much #biodiversityloss, ecosystems collapse. #RRAP

As @UNESCO decides whether the Great Barrier Reef is world heritage in danger, itâs crucial to understand the history of the failure of Australian politicians to protect the Reef. Weirdly, it all began with a beautiful promise. A thread: #auspol #ForNature
In 1981 the Great Barrier Reef was declared as World Heritage under UNESCO, and Australia promised the world that âto the utmost of its resourcesâ our nation would âdo all it canâ to protect the Reef: whc.unesco.org/en/conventiontâĻ
It is important to remember that the Fraser Coalition Government chose to nominate the Great Barrier Reef - and the achievement of World Heritage status was something that we were proud of as a nation. Of course we would protect the Reef!
Hey @ScottMorrison this week your ministers said they were âstunnedâ & âblindsidedâ by UNESCO saying that the #GreatBarrierReef should be listed as in danger. Why? Here's a sample of 15 expert warnings in the last 5 years about the mortal threat to the Reef from #climatechange.
In early 2016, the first of recent mass bleaching events occurred in the Great Barrier Reef. Scientists estimated 22% of coral was killed, clearly linked this to climate change and noted the need for urgent action to counter impacts. nature.com/articles/d4158âĻ
Also in 2016, the UN released a major report on climate change with a key chapter focussing on the Great Barrier Reef. (You might remember that the government intervened prior to its release, objecting that the information would harm tourism).

Welcome to the #EnvironmentalCampaign archive. This story is about the long running Hinchinbrook campaign to stop a marina/hotel development at Oyster Point near the #GreatBarrierReef.
It began with Keith Williamâs proposal to create a 250 berth marina, 1,500 dwelling canal estate and a resort with âmillionâ dollar ocean views, requiring the removal of mangroves and dredging for a marina and canal.
Friends of Hinchinbrook (FoH) formed to 1993 to stop the development. The mangrove trees were protected by small groups of activists on 24 hour rosters.Despite being designed as unsuitable for a boat habour in 1977, in 1994 the project was approved.
BÃM! Der franzÃļsische #BÃŧrgerrat fordert ein #Ãkozid-Gesetz und es ist der denkbar cleverste Move des Gremiums. Der Begriff ist euch neu? Dann lest diesen Thread đ

Ãkozid bezeichnet die massenhafte oder schwere ZerstÃļrung natÃŧrlicher Lebensgrundlagen. Wenn von einem #Ãkozidgesetz die Rede ist, ist damit die Kriminalisierung von Handlungen und Prozessen gemeint, die zur ZerstÃļrung von natÃŧrlichen Lebensgrundlagen fÃŧhren.
Wenn heute, sagen wir, #Siemens' Signalanlagen in der @StopAdani Kohlemine dazu beitragen, dass das #GreatBarrierReef zerstÃļrt wird, ist das ein Kollateralschaden, fÃŧr den niemand verantwortlich ist. stopecocide.earth/what-is-ecocide
As #Australia reels from unprecedented bushfires, the disconnect between its vulnerability to #climate change and the inadequacy of its government's response is coming under international scrutiny.

1/ #Australia is on fire due in large part to #climate change yet the government is looking for ways to weaken the Paris Agreement by using 40 y. o. Kyoto protocol credits to meet its 2030 targets. We show there's no legal basis for thisÂ

2/ Our calculations show just how bad using Kyoto carryover units to meet #ParisAgreement commitments would be for #climate action: an extra 0.1ËC of warming that wld not otherwise hv occurred due to delays in energy & economic system transformationÂ
