The  Blue  Carbon  Finance  Toolbox  aims  to  provide  the  global  blue  carbon  community  with  an  overall  guide  to  understanding  and  leveraging  finance  mechanisms  that  support  the  conservation,  restoration,  and  sustainable  management    of    blue    carbon    ecosystems.    These    ecosystems,   namely   mangroves,   tidal   marshes,   and   seagrasses,  play  essential  roles  in  mitigating  climate  change via carbon sequestration and storage, facilitating adaptation to climate change, supporting biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, and sustaining the livelihoods of coastal  communities.  This  toolbox  synthesises  existing  and  potential  finance  mechanisms,  identifies  gaps,  and  offers   actionable   recommendations   to   enhance   the   effectiveness of blue carbon finance.
