Enhancement of the Adaptive Capacity
of Local Governments & Communities
• World’s second longest coastline ~ 90,000 km, a large
proportion of Indonesia’s population resides near the ocean
• Low Carbon Development Initiatives (LCDI) promote blue
carbon ecosystems (including mangroves, seagrasses and to
some extent coral reefs) as a key target for restoration and
protection
• Need of commitments towards sustainable development and
national initiatives by involving local government and
communities and promote best practices for coastal resource
conservation and management.

Why Mangroves?
• Locally, mangroves offer many ecosystem services including food
resources and income for local, often poor, communities; nationally,
mangroves are crucial for prevention of floods and storm surges; and
globally, mangroves help mitigate climate change by storing 300-
500% more carbon per unit area than any other terrestrial ecosystem
while providing important habitats for biodiversity.
• Indonesia: The largest and most diverse mangrove area in the
world, can potentially offer an emission reduction of almost 30% of
national emissions from the land use sector (Murdiyarso et al., 2015)
and could also be key for adaptation approaches against global
climate change

Project Objectives and Partnership
• To assess the potential of restored blue carbon ecosystems for
climate change mitigation and adaptation (Component 1 & 2)
• To quantify livelihood and nutritional benefits of maintaining
healthy coastal landscapes and restoring degraded blue carbon
ecosystems for local communities (Component 3)
• To enhance the adaptive capacity of local governments and
communities by informing new knowledge generated from the
project through regular dialogues and briefing materials
(Component 4)

What Next? :
• Mangrove’s dynamic need faster response
• High-cost Rehabilitation vs Adaptive Resilience
• Realistic Integrated Coastal Management should be
promoted
• Improvement of knowledge-based innovation
• Solid Mutual Collaboration
