Building Blue Carbon Projects - An Introductory Guide

Project findings have been directly incorporated into the Abu Dhabi 2030 Urban Structure Framework Plan (Abu Dhabi Capital 2030), planning for the Al Gharbia Region (Al Gharbia 2030) and marine spatial plans; and Project findings have been used by the Abu Dhabi municipality. Overall,  the  project  has  informed  Abu  Dhabi’s  decision-making on Blue Carbon ecosystems, and provides decision-makers with highly promising options for action to support the conservation of the  Emirate’s  marine  and  coastal  environment.  Internationally,  the  Abu  Dhabi  Blue  Carbon   Demonstration Project presents excellent policy options, success stories and examples of lessons learned for the application of Blue Carbon through the other international efforts including the GEF Blue Forests Project (Case Study 8.6).

All project assessments, reports and materials are available on the Abu Dhabi Blue Carbon Demonstration Project web site: http://abudhabi.bluecarbonportal.org

Blue Carbon ecosystems support many uses such as Kayaking in the mangroves in Abu Dhabi.
