4 UN Sustainable Development Goals
This project supports following UN Sustainable Development Goals: Decent Work and Economic Growth, Life Below Water, Life on Land and Climate Action.
Blue Carbon Mangrove Restoration - is the world’s first verified blue carbon project, aiming at restoring coastal ecosystems within the Indus River Delta Region of Sindh, southeastern Pakistan, ensuring biodiversity thrives and remains sustainable for the future.
The project's extensive activities are geared towards impactful climate action over its 60-year duration, planning the restoration of 350,000 hectares of mangroves. This ambitious endeavour is expected to remove approximately 142 million tonnes of CO2e from the atmosphere, marking a significant contribution to global climate mitigation efforts.
Blue Carbon Mangrove Restoration brings substantial socio-economic benefits to the local communities, creating employment opportunities, enhancing livelihoods, and improving access to essentials like clean drinking water, healthcare, and education. These interventions are set to transform the lives of over 70% of the local population previously living in poverty, promoting a cycle of natural, social, and economic regeneration.
Located within a Key Biodiversity Area, this project also serves as a sanctuary for 11 globally threatened species, ensuring the protection and revival of critical habitats. The project's biodiversity conservation efforts are extensive, focusing on wetland restoration, habitat improvement, and sustainable resource management, alongside raising environmental awareness and advocacy.
