Episode Notes

WOW! This is really exciting news! This week we are going to talk about some seriously big wins for coral reefs and the fight against climate change. The United Nations has provided countless services around the world, and it is not letting us down and is still going strong.

Coral reefs are one of the most important animals and ecosystems in the world. Even though their structures make up just 1% of the ocean, they provide habitat to 25% of all life in the oceans. You may have heard that coral reefs have not been doing so hot lately, but there is good news! 

Remember the movie Twister? And how they needed to find a way to create a warning system for tornados. Well, there is a big project that has been funded and is underway to develop a global warning system for climate disasters funded by the UN! This will be a game changer in lessening the blows of climate-related disasters significantly.
