This resource provides a comprehensive overview of financial mechanisms and strategies to support the conservation, restoration, and sustainable management of blue carbon ecosystems. These coastal and marine habitats, including mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrasses, play essential roles in climate change mitigation and adaptation, coastal protection, ecosystem functioning, and support coastal livelihoods and communities.
Specifically, the toolbox aims to equip policymakers, financial institutions, project developers, and other stakeholders with knowledge and tools necessary to mobilize funding for blue carbon initiatives. It synthesises current knowledge, best practices, and innovative approaches in blue carbon finance.
This resource provides further guidance related to the Blue Carbon Ecosystems Investment Planning Supplement of the Climate Investment Planning and Mobilization Framework (CIPMF).
