Communities, Climate, and Coastal Ecosystems

Through partners worldwide, the UNEP / GEF Blue Forests Project has explored and tested blue forests methodologies and approaches to harness ecosystem services and support carbon financing initiatives while addressing key knowledge gaps and international policy engagement. The project results incorporate tools and solutions for the greater global application of blue carbon assessment and accounting, payment for ecosystem services, and enhancing capacity for a sustainable blue economy. The Communities, Climate, and Coastal Ecosystems event aims to share these experiences and lessons learned of the Blue Forests Project to assist with the development and replication of future initiatives.

By drawing on experiences from these project sites, this event will help to inform future projects by:

Showcasing results from the UNEP/GEF Blue Forests Project

Reviewing the current state of blue forests within international marine conservation, sustainability and climate policy

Highlighting experiences from the Blue Forests Project sites

Introducing the Blue Forests Solutions Toolkit

Providing online networking opportunities for partners to connect
