#IUCN #NaturePositive #ClimateAction
Virtually every assessed shallow-water coral reef ecosystem is threatened, with 96% Critically Endangered.
Heat stress from climate change is the single most consistent threat, but reefs in most parts of the world are not yet lost.

#COP17
IUCN has launched its first global strategy to tackle invasive alien species.
Its four goals: better data, stronger capacity, effective prevention and response, and more sustainable finance.

#COP17Armenia #InvasiveAlienSpecies
From the Red Sea to the Great Barrier Reef, nearly all assessed shallow-water coral reef ecosystems face an extremely high risk of collapse within 50 years.
Collapse means hard corals almost disappear and algae, rubble and sponges take over.

Welcome to the #IUCNGreenList 🌿
These three sites in China have achieved Green List status for the first time:
📍 Beijing Yeyahu Nature Reserve
📍 Fujian Liangyeshan National Nature Reserve
📍 Zhejiang Qingliangfeng National Nature Reserve
Celebrated at the Green List Awards at #CBDCOP17.
#COP17Armenia
Seven French sites, from Essonne to Tour du Valat, also had their status reaffirmed. 🇫🇷
All are assessed against the IUCN Global Standard for Effective and Equitable Protected and Conserved Areas (formerly the Green List Standard).

Climate change and biodiversity loss are interconnected crises.
Climate impacts threaten 43% of natural World Heritage sites, while Arctic seals are moving closer to extinction as sea ice melts.
At #COP17Armenia, IUCN urges countries to address both crises together through stronger biodiversity action.

At #COP17Armenia, countries must turn the first global review of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework into stronger action for nature.
That means closing implementation gaps, strengthening finance, involving all stakeholders, and improving collaboration across global agreements.

New at #COP17Armenia: the IUCN Global Standard for Effective and Equitable Protected and Conserved Areas.
Formerly the IUCN Green List Standard, it gives every protected and conserved area a common framework to assess, improve and show how well it’s performing, key to delivering on 30x30.

Ecological integrity can tell us how well a natural place is still working, and if it can recover from the shocks coming its way.
A new report from IUCN explains how to put ecological integrity into conservation policy and practice.
