SDG 15: Life On Land
Maintain and extend current ecosystems' biodiversity
In November 2024, the Center for Integrated Coastal Area Management (ICZM UNDIP) held a workshop titled “Mangrove Ecosystem Governance and Mangrove Carbon: Encouraging Strengthening Coastal Ecosystem Policies in Indonesia.” This event brought together various stakeholders from government agencies, academics, and environmental organizations to discuss sustainable mangrove management strategies.
Through this discussion, ICZM UNDIP emphasized the important role of mangrove ecosystems in mitigating climate change through carbon sequestration and coastal protection from abrasion and natural disasters. Furthermore, the forum also produced policy recommendations that encourage science-based mangrove governance and local wisdom to strengthen the resilience of coastal ecosystems in Indonesia.
