Unlocking the Potential of Blue Carbon

Speakers: Carlos Eduardo Correa Escaf, Katherine Garrett-Cox, Aron Cramer, Douglas McCauley

Coastal wetlands sequester carbon dioxide 400% more rapidly than tropical rainforests and account for approximately half of the total ocean-based carbon removal, playing a critical role in climate change mitigation. While the benefits of mangrove restoration and conservation could outweigh the costs by 3:1, the supply of blue carbon credits is still lacking.

What action is required to fully unleash the economic potential of blue carbon and maximize its impact?

This is a livestreamed session.
