In just eight years, UAE residents will wake up to a much greener landscape.<\/p>\n
The national effort to plant over 100 million Mangroves by 2030 will work to greenify the country and comes as a strategic move to achieve Net Zero by 2050. This will further push the country to increase its reliance on nature-based solutions in facing environmental challenges and to enhance efforts to capture carbon dioxide to mitigate the effects of climate change and to improve adaptation capabilities.<\/p>\n

Mariam bint Mohammed Almheiri, Minister of Climate Change and the Environment, said:<\/p>\n
“Through the expansion of mangrove forest areas at the national level, the National Carbon Sequestration Project in the UAE is one of the most effective nature-based solutions in facing the challenge of climate change because of its many environmental benefits. <\/em><\/p>\n Therefore, the country \u2013 thanks to the vision of the wise leadership \u2013 raised its ambition regarding the targeted number of mangroves from 30 to 100 million trees by 2030.”<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As part of its efforts to implement the UAE's strategic initiative to achieve Net Zero by 2050, #MOCCAE<\/a> launched the roadmap for the National Carbon Capture Project, which aims to plant 100 million mangroves by 2030, at the national level. pic.twitter.com\/3WPNvgsJP0<\/a><\/p>\n — MoCCAE (@MoCCaEUAE) December 17, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nStudies indicate that Mangroves are capable of absorbing carbon up to 5x more than wild tropical rain forests, in addition to being a safe, natural habitat for marine biodiversity, as 80% of global fish populations depend on healthy mangrove ecosystems<\/h2>\n
