The Mangrove Alliance for Climate (MAC) is building on global efforts to promote biodiversity and shines a spotlight on nature-based solutions. Spearheaded by the United Arab Emirates in partnership with Indonesia, MAC promotes mangroves as a nature-based solution to climate change. MAC is a collaborative network of governments recognizing the importance of promoting the conservation of mangrove ecosystems as a nature-based solution and fostering cross-boundary cooperation to meet international climate goals.

This technical-level annual meeting aims to bring together global stakeholders to engage and support the priority areas of MAC. It will facilitate knowledge exchange between partners and discussion on the global state of mangroves, their ecosystems, and related policies and reporting. Participants will explore strategies for enhancing the conservation and sustainable use of mangroves, focusing on their role in mitigating climate change and supporting biodiversity. The event will include presentations, panel discussions, and workshops to foster capacity-building, technical cooperation, and the sharing of best practices.
