The goal of the Policy Framework for Blue Carbon Ecosystems is to facilitate alignment across global policy processes to enhance conservation, restoration and sustainable management of coastal ecosystems.Ìý
To make progress towards theÌývision of alignment across global policy processes to enhance conservation, restoration and sustainable management of coastal ecosystems, the Policy Framework for Blue Carbon Ecosystems has developed an overarching framework for achieving enhanced coastal conservation via international policy processes.
