Our blue carbon program | Conservation International

Things might look a little different around here... Welcome to Conservation International’s new digital presence.

For over 15 years, Conservation International has been at the forefront of researching, protecting and conserving blue carbon ecosystems — including mangroves, seagrasses and tidal marshes.

Together with our partners, we are developing the strategies and tools needed to protect and fully-value coastal ecosystems — and equipping governments to develop policies that protect blue carbon ecosystems and promote their potential for supporting climate change adaptation and resilience.

Knowledge and tool building

Conservation International and our partners are building a robust, scientific basis for effective blue carbon policy, financing and management. We work with global experts to develop and synthesize knowledge for standards and tools needed to realize on-the-ground impact.

In partnership with the government of Singapore and others, Conservation International launched the International Blue Carbon Institute, which focuses on developing global blue carbon knowledge and building the capacity to scale blue carbon projects.

Conservation International coordinates the International Blue Carbon Scientific Working Group, an expert group that is advancing essential science for blue carbon.
