Spanning a total area of 200,000 hectares, Việt Nam’s mangrove forests are believed to not only have socio-economic and biodiversity values, but also act as large carbon storage areas that help capture emissions.

Recognising the positive impacts of mangrove forests in the face of climate change, Việt Nam has been working to protect and revive these areas with the help of the international community, including through a project improving the resilience of vulnerable coastal communities to climate change related impacts.

The mangrove forests from the project are flourishing to become a ‘green barrier’ against strong waves while also protecting coastal dykes and improving local livelihoods and biodiversity. Data as of June this year shows that the emission reduction from the project’s mangrove forests reached over 1.1 million tonnes of CO2, exceeding the initial target of 565,000 tonnes.
