This project aims to strengthen Indonesia’s climate mitigation and adaptation efforts, and improve the sustainability of coastal livelihoods, by supporting the restoration and protection of mangrove ecosystems in North and East Kalimantan. Project activities include: (1) restoring degraded mangrove ecosystems and protecting intact mangroves with a focus on nature-based solutions; (2) building policymakers' capacity to better incentivize mangroves' restoration and protection; (3) introducing more sustainable fishing and aquaculture techniques to local communities; and (4) improving the licensing regime to provide vulnerable communities with greater access to mangrove resources.
Beneficiaries include 20,000 poor and vulnerable coastal women and men, with women making up 40 percent of participants receiving training on improved livelihoods and restoration approaches.

This project aims to support the Government of Indonesia in establishing healthier blue carbon ecosystems that can help Indonesia better adapt and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Blue carbon refers to carbon sequestered and stored in coastal and marine ecosystems such as mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrasses. Projects activities include: (1) promoting the full integration of blue carbon ecosystems into national development and climate change strategies; (2) positioning blue carbon as the sixth component in Indonesia’s Nationally Determined Contribution plan; and (3) incorporating blue carbon within the national monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) system. Direct project beneficiaries include over 1,000 policymakers at national and subnational levels (40% women). Indirect beneficiaries include many coastal communities – particularly women, youth and other vulnerable populations. Also, these communities would benefit from having biodiversity and livelihood of better-managed blue carbon ecosystems.
