Blue Carbon - First Level Exploration of Blue Carbon in the Arabian Peninsula

“You cannot stop development, but you can do it so that development is sustainable.”

Over 40 meetings were held with local, national, and regional authorities and with organisations from three countries in the Arabian Peninsula during the production of Blue Carbon in the Arabian Peninsula. This report primarily focuses on Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) but also explores Blue Carbon in a regional context.
