- The IUCN released the assessment on October 22, 2026, alongside a U.N. biodiversity conference in Albania.
- The assessment covered 127 tropical and subtropical ecoregions and 72,726 square miles (188,362 square kilometers) of coral reefs worldwide.
- The assessment identified climate change as the single most consistent threat driving coral reef decline worldwide.
- Reefs classified as critically endangered include the Great Barrier Reef, Coral Triangle, Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System and Red Sea coral reefs.
“We know what is needed: ambitious emissions reductions, stronger protection and restoration efforts, and sustained investment in resilient coastal ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.”— Grethel Aguilar, the IUCN director general, cited measures that could help coral reefs survive.
