James Kairo and Salim Abdalla from Mikoko Pamoja talk about their community-based mangrove carbon offset project in Kenya. This blue solution focuses on climate change mitigation and awareness creation. In an ongoing process around 4000 mangrove seedlings get planted every year, which results in carbon savings to generate direct income for the community. Thereby an enhancement of the understanding of blue carbon value is achieved and research as well as further reforestation is implemented.
