Mangrove ecosystems are critical for food, livelihoods, biodiversity, and climate.

This event will highlight how including mangrove-positive targets in countries' Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) can be an important catalyst to mobilize action and finance for mangrove conservation and restoration, and further enhance mitigation contributions.

Through a moderated panel discussion composed of diverse mangrove stakeholders, attendees will learn about new and ongoing initiatives to implement and mobilize mangrove-climate action and finance.
