Pioneering blue carbon strategies for climate resilience and ocean sustainability
At GRID-Arendal, I lead efforts to advance nature-positive solutions within the blue economy, with a particular focus on blue carbon. My work harnesses the benefits and values of marine and coastal ecosystems, such as mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes, to support local climate action, integrated environmental management, and the resilience of coastal and island communities. Through innovative science-policy initiatives, I work to integrate healthy coastal and ocean ecosystems, including their carbon sequestration potential, into climate mitigation strategies and sustainable development pathways.
