This leaflet prepared for the International Year of Biodiversity 2010 shows that reefs are suffering increasing damage from warmer water, rising carbon dioxide in seawater (ocean acidification) and stronger storms. This is threatening the livelihoods and food security of millions of people. Supporting documents available on website at http://icriforum.org/climatepapers/
