Socialization of the Program Support for the Integration of Blue Carbon Ecosystems in Indonesia’s Biodiversity and Climate Policies

Bappenas and the ICCTF, with funding support from the Agence Française de Développement (AFD)—Fiche de Saisine de la Facilité 2050—are promoting the implementation of the Program Support for the Integration of Blue Carbon Ecosystems into Indonesia's Biodiversity and Climate Policies. This project aims to integrate national and sub-national policies through the implementation of the Indonesian Blue Carbon Strategic Framework (IBCSF), the development of a roadmap, the establishment of a national baseline, the MRV (monitoring, reporting, and verification) of blue carbon, and capacity building for national and sub-national authorities in relation to blue carbon.

The event was held in Manado, North Sulawesi, one of the pilot project sites for Indonesia’s Blue Carbon Project. It served as the introduction phase of the pilot project for the provincial and local governments, academicians, NGOs, and related organizations in North Sulawesi. The event was conducted in Bahasa Indonesia.
