Indonesia's ambitious goal of reaching net-zero by 2060 can draw on nature-based solutions. Mangrove forests, a coastal ecosystem with one of the fastest rates of natural carbon sequestration and of which Indonesia holds the world's largest reserves, are an important asset for Indonesian companies.
In this report, Earth Security explores the value of Indonesia's mangroves for business, their role and potential in the emerging carbon market, and the ways in which the private sector can contribute to coastal resilience and sustainable development, especially when supporting projects close to the locations in which they operate.
Key takeaways include:
- The key areas of economic value that mangroves provide Indonesia, and the basis on which to build sound business and investment strategies
- Indonesia's restoration potential and locations and drivers of successful restoration
- Featured business case studies of Earth Security's work with companies and projects
- Guidance on how Indonesian companies can incorporate mangrove conservation and restoration in corporate climate action strategies
- The blueprint Earth Security is adopting to scale investment into mangroves as an asset, through blended finance and public-private cooperation
