Description:
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.
