About the webinar
The term Blue Carbon refers to the carbon stored in marine-coastal ecosystems. It is estimated that these ecosystems sequester up to five times more carbon than terrestrial forests, making their proper management an important climate change mitigation measure, with benefits also associated with adaptation, biodiversity conservation and food security, among many other issues. The measurement of blue carbon stocks is a fundamental element for the development of policies and projects aimed at linking the sustainable management of mangroves and other marine-coastal ecosystems to global mitigation efforts, taking advantage of opportunities to channel resources from mechanisms such as REDD+ and carbon markets.
This webinar will present an overview of the state of the art of blue carbon initiatives at the international and national level, their actors and genesis, as well as two experiences in the Latin American region in the development of projects in this field. The case of INVEMAR in Colombia, which has developed methodologies for REDD+ projects in mangrove ecosystems and the work of the Ministry of Environment of El Salvador in conjunction with national and international partners in the Bay of Jiquilisco and the Jaltepeque estuary in El Salvador, where a process of national capacity building was developed to estimate carbon stocks and fluxes at the ecosystem and landscape level in mangroves and surrounding land covers of the lower Lempa.
The webinar will be held at Spanish. If you have any questions about this event, please contact the LEDS LAC Platform Secretariat: [email protected].
