Aligning Policy and Capital for Blue Carbon Solutions

Blue carbon ecosystems, like mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes, are essential for climate mitigation, biodiversity, and coastal resilience. Yet despite their immense value, they remain undervalued and underfunded. This session will spotlight global and national efforts to conserve and restore these ecosystems, emphasizing how strong policy frameworks and enabling conditions can unlock finance and drive large-scale implementation.

Bringing together leaders from government, finance, industry, and communities, the discussion will explore how public–private collaboration can mobilize capital, support local livelihoods, and scale tangible impact on the ground, all of which can collectively advance the goals of the Mangrove Breakthrough.
