Abstract

Key messages

Indonesia holds one of the world’s largest opportunities for mangrove-based climate mitigation, with over 300,000 ha of degraded mangrove areas and cumulative historical emissions of 257 Mt CO₂e resulting from 24 years of mangrove loss during 2001–2024. Aquaculture-driven conversion remains the largest source of mangrove carbon emissions, generating emission factors higher than those from mangrove deforestation and highlighting crucial priorities for targeted intervention. The i-Mangrove Blue Carbon Dashboard provides the first fully integrated, transparent and spatially explicit measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) system for mangrove loss drivers, carbon emissions and restoration potential opportunity across Indonesia, forming a scientific foundation for high-integrity climate actions. High-integrity climate actions through mangrove blue carbon in Indonesia are potentially viable, with annual mitigation potential reaching approximately 12.24 Mt CO₂e yr–1 from avoided emissions and targeted restoration efforts. Adoption of the i-Mangrove Blue Carbon Dashboard strengthens implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), enables credible blue carbon markets and guides cost-effective investments by governments, donors and project developers. The dashboard provides foundational data that can be integrated into Indonesia’s carbon market infrastructure, including potential applications under Indonesia Carbon Exchange (IDX Carbon).
