This introductory guide to the global threats facing coral reefs is part of our new CIO Nature Series providing insights on nature-based solutions to address climate impacts and foster adaptation efforts.

 

The Future Climate Coral Bank is the first initiative to be financed by our Deutsche Bank Ocean Resilience Philanthropy Fund. This research project, led by the Maldives Coral Institute, will identify coral species that are resilient to climate change and conserve them in a living gene bank.

 

To support this exciting research, we are pleased to publish this introductory guide to the global threats facing coral reefs – and what we can do to reduce these threats.
