Manado, KM – Climate change can make a negative impact for human life. Around million risk losing people’s homes and Livelihoods unless drastic steps are taken to protect Southeast Asia ‘s biologically diverse coral reefs, which could be wiped out in coming decades because of Clime change.
Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and East Timor (The Coral Triangle-red) wanne makes up 30 percent of the world’s coral reefs and 35 percent of coral reef fish species.
Vast marine ecosystems could be kill, if carbon Emissions are not cut by 25 percent to 40 percent by the year 2020. That makes a higher ocean temperatures. The report is according to the Global environmental conservation organization World Wrestling Fund (WWF), which presented its 220-page study at the World Ocean Conference (WOC) in Manado Hotel Gran Kawanua, Yesterday.
WWF outlines a series of conservation priorities and emission reduction goals to avert that scenario, and recommends they be adopted by governments negotiating a new international climate change treaty to replace the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012.
Saving the Coral Triangle will require countries to commit to deep cuts in carbon gas Emissions when they gather for global climate talks in the Danish capital Copenhagen in December to work out a successor agreement to the Kyoto Protocol.
Cuts of 80 per cent below 1990 levels by 2050 would be needed to avert the worst effects on the region, home to more than half the world’s coral reefs and a lynchpin for ocean life in the region.
