‘Grim future’ for Great Barrier Reef unless global heating kept to 2C, study finds
University of Queensland modelling says reef will suffer ‘rapid coral decline’ in coming decades but could still recover if targets met
Wed 5 Nov 2025 12.51 GMT
The Great Barrier Reef will undergo “rapid coral decline” until 2050 but could recover if global heating is kept below 2C, according to the most detailed modelling so far of the future of the world’s biggest coral reef.
The finding contradicts a widely held view that the decline of the oceanic gem would become irreversible as global temperatures rise above 1.5C, with one report last month suggesting the world’s tropical corals had already reached a tipping point of long-term decline.

The International Committee of the Red Cross has transported 285 bodies held in Israeli custody to Gaza since last month’s agreement was brokered, though health officials in Gaza have said identifying the remains is complicated by a lack of DNA testing kits.
