Launching the Mangrove Alliance for Climate
Building on global efforts to promote biodiversity and shining a spotlight on nature-based solutions, the Mangrove Alliance for Climate (MAC), which is spearheaded by the United Arab Emirates in partnership with Indonesia, will promote mangroves as a nature-based solution to climate change. MAC was launched at COP27 on the 8th of November 2022, in the presence of representatives from the global community.
Aim & Objectives
The MAC seeks to scale up, accelerate conservation, restoration and growing plantation efforts of mangrove ecosystems for the benefit of communities globally, and recognize the importance of these ecosystems for climate change mitigation and adaption. Specifically, the members commit to plant, rehabilitate and restore mangroves within their country; as well as supporting others to do the same.
