Following 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播鈥檚 advice, the World Heritage Committee has requested Australia to report, in two years鈥 time, on progress made in implementing the new Great Barrier Reef 2050 sustainability plan, including information on secured investment. In five years鈥 time, Australia must also present a formal report to the Committee on the effectiveness of the plan.
According to 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播, which is the official advisory body on nature to the Committee, the Great Barrier Reef is facing major challenges due to climate change, poor water quality and impacts from coastal development. Australia鈥檚 2050 sustainability plan for the reef proposes a range of actions in response to these threats, such as reducing pollution, restricting port development and permanently banning dumping of dredged material within the reef.
鈥Today鈥檚 decision was a tough but balanced one,鈥 says Tim Badman, Director of 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播鈥檚 World Heritage Programme. 鈥It recognises achievements made by Australia to create the 2050 sustainability plan and the progress facilitated by World Heritage monitoring.
鈥The reef is clearly facing unprecedented challenges and the response needed to address them must be equally unparalleled. Australia鈥檚 new plan is a welcome and important step to support the Great Barrier Reef鈥檚 resilience, particularly in the face of the global threat of climate change. The plan now needs to translate into action, backed by adequate finance and rigorous science.鈥
The Great Barrier Reef is the biggest coral reef system on Earth, hosting the world鈥檚 largest diversity of coral reefs and a wide variety of threatened species such as the Dugong and the Green Turtle.
