Blue carbon is a relatively new issue, but the growth of initiatives and networks among stakeholders has gained momentum. Indonesia and other blue carbon countries need to join together to share their challenges and opportunities through various partnerships on this subject. Committed groups include the International Partnership for Blue Carbon (IPBC), Blue Carbon Scientific Initiative (BCI), Indi...
As a large blue carbon country, Indonesia can play a strategic role in engaging with the global agenda, such as through the Paris Agreement, Aichi Biodiversity Targets and SDGs by implementing its own national agenda. Coordinated implementation has been a challenge, but putting the common issues on a higher platform such as the medium-term development plan (known as RPJM), provides the promise of ...
The opening plenary will put into perspective the importance of blue carbon in both national and global agenda.
