Blue Carbon Summit: As it happened
Going beyond carbon, the Blue Carbon Summit challenged participants to think about the many factors facing coastal ecosystems, the blue economy and government cooperation.
The Blue Carbon Summit took place on 17-18 July 2018 at the National Library of Indonesia in Jakarta and featured 60 speakers and two government ministers. Attended by nearly 250 people, the summit was an initiative organized by Indonesian Academy of Sciences (AIPI) in collaboration with the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), and supported by the Global Landscape Forum (GLF).
VIEW EVENT SUMMARY
We cannot treat this problem by just having meetings, we need to do something. We can’t just talk about this, we need to think about how to implement for national interest.
We have to think about future generations.
The extensive discussions [during the Blue Carbon Summit] are expected to identify gaps hindering the mainstreaming of blue carbon in the national development agenda and global commitments, and pave the way for the future direction of blue carbon development in Indonesia.
We are here to correct an imbalance, in the news there is a focus on deforestation, but 60% world population lives in coastal areas.
Coastal ecosystems are fundamental for the survival of the species, for ecosystem services, for biodiversity, and for blue carbon.
We have already lost 50% of the mangrove ecosystems, we need to protect what is left.
We think that this is the right time to work on this topic because of a critical mass already sharing their knowledge, already having results. So we want to sit together and see how this can be provided for the government, to make a science-based recommendation related to blue carbon.
Professor, Department of Geophysics and Meteorology, IPB
Places where we’ve seen real success on blue carbon is where we’ve seen people from different disciplines come together and learn to speak a common language.
Conservation International's Strategic Marine Initiatives
Be prudent, honest, no corruption, and fight for projects that satisfy the needs of the people.
From my perspective in the government, we’re looking for blue carbon warriors.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia
Of the cooperation between Norway and Indonesia, marine cooperation is the second largest and fastest growing.
