Future Earth Finance and Economics KAN/長崎大学
This side event aims to discuss current challenges and future directions for achieving nature positive outcomes through blue carbon, with a particular focus on financial perspectives and by bringing together experts from the finance sector. The discussion will focus on practical issues in linking carbon sequestration and biodiversity co-benefits in coastal ecosystems—measured, reported, and verified (MRV)—to carbon markets and sustainable finance. In addition, the session will examine the conditions under which blue carbon can become an investable asset, including market credibility, data requirements, and institutional frameworks.
