Sequestration of Carbon Along Our Conservation International

Coasts: Are We Missing Major Sinks Katrin Olson
and Sources? kolson@conservation.org
Coastal marine ecosystems – particularly
mangroves, sea grasses, and salt marshes
– are now known to be important sinks
and stores of carbon. Total carbon
deposits per square kilometer in these
coastal systems can be up to five times
the carbon stored in tropical forests,
resulting from sequestration rates up to
50 times that of tropical forests. Global
Climate Change
13.40– degradation and loss of these coastal
Studio
14.00 systems are estimated to be up to 2% per
(Cancunmesse
year. This not only results in the loss of
Hall C)
important natural sequestration of
atmospheric carbon but also in the rapid
emission, within decades, of large
carbon stores that build up over centuries
to millennia. Currently no management
or incentive systems specifically value
the role of marine ecosystems in
sequestering and storing greenhouse
gases. Dr. Emily Pidgeon discusses the
importance of blue carbon in relation to
climate change.

Rio Conventions' Ecosystems and Climate Change Pavilion

The Rio Conventions' Ecosystems and Climate Change Pavilion is a collaborative outreach activity
involving the Rio Convention secretariats, the Global Environment Facility and other important partners. In
Cancun, the Ecosystems Pavilion will have a physical ‘base’ at Cancunmesse, but also has events at other
locations, providing a diverse range of opportunities to discuss the linkages between biodiversity, climate
change and sustainable land management.

During the course of COP 16/CMP 6, negotiators and other key decision-makers, scientists, and practitioners
will be able to discuss the links between forest biodiversity and adaptation and mitigation; the role of oceans;
indigenous peoples and communities, water, the role of protected areas, climate change biodiversity loss,
desertification and land degradation, and financing. A full programme is available
at http://www.ecosystemspavilion.org/en/cancun.
