Countries have the opportunity to develop targets that outline goals to conserve, restore, and sustainably manage mangroves within Nationally Determined
Contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement.

This document provides mangrove-positive NDC template language for the conservation, restoration, and sustainable management of mangrove
ecosystems that countries can choose from.

This policy brief provides examples of mangrove-positive NDC targets
that countries have previously submitted to the UNFCCC.

Wetlands are critical resources for global biodiversity, water security, and carbon storage, but their global extent has declined by 35% from 1970 to 2015.

Coastal and marine Nature-based Solutions (NbS), such as the protection and restoration of mangroves and other blue carbon ecosystems - namely seagrasses and tidal salt marshes, are integral to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement.

The Global Mangrove Watch represents a critical tool, based on the most accurate science, to support countries in the process of implementing, updating or revising their NDCs, and ratcheting up national and collective ambition on the potential of mangrove ecosystems for climate action.

Legal and policy frameworks that enable mangrove conservation, restoration and sustainable use, in support of global goals for climate, biodiversity and sustainable development.

This paper summarizes the key entry points within existing UNFCCC processes and negotiations where management actions concerning coastal and marine ecosystems can play a productive role in climate action.

Nature-based solutions (NbS) offer a framework to remedy these complex dynamics.

The Mangrove Breakthrough is a Community of Action dedicated to sustainably managing and increasing mangrove cover by 2030 by catalyzing a $4 billion shared global goal.

It illustrates the contribution of mangrove ecosystems towards the achievement of multiple goals, targets and associated indicators towards the achievement of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework’s vision of a world of “Living in harmony with nature.”

The Belize Government undertook a review and updating of its mangrove regulations. The new mangrove regulations went through an arduous process of consultation and validation to place greater emphasis on the management and conservation.
