Side event at the German Pavilion with participation of the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT)

Mangrove forests, salt marshes and seagrass meadows absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, strengthen biodiversity and protect coastal regions. On 21 November, a side event at the German Pavilion at COP29 will see experts debate how effective management of vegetation-rich coastal ecosystems could be planned to preserve these important services and support reaching climate targets.
