Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
The Blue Carbon agenda was introduced in 2009 by a set of UN-affiliated institutions and organisations, but was later picked up by many different actors, including multinational corporations like Danone, and environmental organisations like Conservation International. Blue Carbon proponents highlight the need to protect wetland areas, especially mangroves and sea grass areas, because of the ability of such ecosystems to act as carbon sinks. Through natural processes, wetland areas capture and store carbon, and therefore the above-mentioned actors are looking for ways to include wetland areas in mitigation efforts aiming to lessen the impact of global CO2 emissions.
