The Purpose
Blue carbon connects ecosystem restoration with climate mitigation by recognising the carbon stored in coastal habitats and the sediments beneath them.
The Challenge
The challenge is to turn a broad climate concept into measurable ecological outcomes supported by credible baselines, monitoring, safeguards and durable governance.
what we focus on
Four foundations of credible blue carbon:
- Establish a Defensible Baseline
Establish a defensible ecological and carbon baseline before intervention.
- Demonstrate Additionality
Demonstrate additionality and explain the counterfactual clearly.
- Build In MRV From the Start
Build monitoring, reporting and verification into project design from the start.
- Protect Community Rights and Stewardship
Protect community rights, participation, livelihoods and long-term stewardship.
