‘Blue carbon’ credits arising from restoration of mangroves, intertidal marshes and seagrass ecosystems are recognised as offering a high quality option for investors which reflects the co-benefits of restoration. This Panel will examine how blue carbon credits can be upscaled to reflect demand whilst also ensuring that stakeholder communities receive commensurate benefits from such activities. The Panel will open discussion on how to mainstream blue carbon credits and enable the market to reach maturity whilst ensuring the integrity and quality of this form of carbon offset.
