Mangroves and blue carbon
The document outlines the 3rd Asian Pacific Rainforest Summit focusing on coastal blue carbon ecosystems like mangroves, tidal marshes, and seagrasses, which play a crucial role in carbon storage and climate adaptation. Australia, holding about 10% of these ecosystems, emphasizes their importance through various policy measures and international partnerships for effective carbon inventory reporting. The summit includes discussions and case studies on sustainable management of mangroves and community engagement for enhancing blue carbon initiatives.
