The Mangrove Breakthrough NDC Task Force Webinar Series supports governments in translating their Mangrove Breakthrough commitments into actionable, science-based targets and implementation pathways within their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

This Mangrove Breakthrough webinar focuses on Best Implementation Practices that equip policymakers, mangrove practitioners, and investors with comprehensive, practical tools and guidance to support the effective design, financing, and implementation of mangrove initiatives.

Participants will gain insights into high-quality blue carbon standards, mangrove restoration best practices, and collaborative approaches between governments and civil society. These standards and best practices emphasize ecologically sound and inclusive, community-based approaches that strengthen progress toward mangrove integration and action within Nationally Determined Contributions.
