Скачать или смотреть Blue Carbon: Advances in Science, Policy, and Management Panel

Conserving and restoring mangroves and other “blue carbon ecosystems” (i.e., tidal marshes and seagrass beds) have emerged as an important focus of international climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. Though much smaller in spatial extent than terrestrial forests, these ecosystems sequester carbon at a much faster rate and can bury large quantities of carbon in sediment for thousands of years. Moreover, they provide a wide variety of other ecosystem services, including buffering tidal surges, serving as nurseries for fisheries, and providing an array of nontimber forest products, which are directly beneficial to local coastal communities in adjusting to the vagaries of climate change. This panel of experts will discuss both recent advances in Blue Carbon science, policy, and management, as well as developments still needed to bring the promise of blue carbon to fruition.

On October 23, 2024, ELTI Global Strategy Advisor David Neidel and Indonesia Program Coordinator Lely Puspitasari moderated a panel on Blue Carbon featuring:
Dr. Benjamin Brown, Charles Darwin University & Australian Institute of Marine Science
Dr. Jacob Bukoski, Oregon State University
Dr. Daniel Friess, Tulane University
Ms. Hasna Nikmah, World Bank
Ms. Stefanie Simpson, The Nature Conservancy
