Investing in Resilience: Blue Carbon Ecosystems, Communities, and Finance for the Indo-Pacific

“Blue carbon” refers to carbon stored by coastal and marine ecosystems, such as mangroves, seagrass beds, coastal wetlands and marshes, tidal flats, and by marine organisms themselves, especially fish and other large animals. Human activity and climate change impacts are damaging and destroying blue carbon ecosystems throughout the Indo-Pacific region, with adverse consequences for the communities whose livelihoods, economies, cultures, and well-being depend on them.

This report was created to gather the evidence and analyses that can help guide USAID Mission staff, partners, host country governments, and communities to advance local, regional, national, and international blue carbon initiatives in the Indo-Pacific region.

I had the opportunity to work with USAID’s staff to design the layout for the report and to create infographics that illustrate blue carbon ecosystems in the Indo-Pacific region.
