Development of Blue Carbon Sample Clauses

Development of Blue Carbon. First, we look at the brief discussion of CO2 sinks before the term "blue carbon" was coined and the developments in the UNFCCC and IPCC since the publication of the Blue Carbon Report in 2009 (Table 1.1). Research on carbon sequestration in coastal ecosystems, which is connected to the concept of blue carbon, has been available since the 1800s. As long- term observations of atmospheric CO2 concentrations began to reveal increments in atmospheric CO2 concentrations, research on the measurement of CO2 concentrations in the ocean and the role of the ocean and coastal zones in the carbon cycle became increasingly active. By contrast, seagrass beds, salt marshes, and mangrove forests, which are active carbon cycle sites in coastal areas, have been declining worldwide due to population growth and development in coastal areas. The 2009 Blue Carbon report is the result of a movement to conserve and restore seagrass beds, salt marshes, and mangrove forests, which are important carbon sinks and resources for coastal communities. Since 2009, scientific knowledge on the three ecosystems of seagrass beds, salt marshes, and mangrove forests has been reorganized and their coverage by the IPCC and UNFCCC has dramatically increased, leading to a significant rise in interest from countries, academia, and NGOs. In relation to Table 1.1, we outline the treatment of carbon sinks and storage under the UNFCCC (a) and then summarize the science and policy developments around the UN system since 2009 (b).
