Prime Minister Scott Morrison is served notice by Greenpeace lawyers that his weak emissions reduction target set at the COP26 Summit in Glasgow puts Australia in breach of its obligations to protect the Great Barrier Reef.

Greenpeace Australia Pacific holds an action and press conference outside Morrison’s residence at Kirribilli House, Sydney, accompanied by Professor of Marine Ecology David Booth, environmentalist and media personality Laura Wells, and a group of activists bearing dead coral to symbolise the damage the Reef is suffering from climate change.

SPEAKERS:
David Ritter (Greenpeace Australia Pacific CEO), David Booth (Marine Scientist and Professor at UTS), Laura Wells (Science Communicator and Model), and Katrina Bullock (Greenpeace Australia Pacific Legal Counsel).
