Mangroves’ have a unique role in combating climate change and accelerating the delivery of both the Paris Agreement and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. On Nature Day, ministers and non-state actors discussed the major partnerships and initiatives behind the Mangrove Breakthrough, the global target to restore and protect 15 million hectares of mangroves and halt mangrove destruction by 2030 to meet biodiversity and climate targets. #UniteActDeliver #COP28 @MoCCaEUAE @hlcchampions
