Impacts
Project Information
Saudi Aramco aims to preserve and restore degraded mangroves across Saudi Arabia. As part of this effort, the DD-SWAM project has been implemented over an area of 9.9 hectares in the Dammam region. The project is expected to result in a GHG reduction of 4,080 tons of CO₂ emissions, following the CDM AR-AM0014 methodology and supported by advanced monitoring technologies. It contributes to SDGs 13 and 14 by enhancing coastal resilience and promoting sustainable marine ecosystem management as cobenefits .

Additionality
Level 1 additionality
Baseline additionality. Compared to the baseline scenario the project needs to mitigate climate change. That is the project must implement actions that are additional to what would occur compared to the baseline.
Level 2a additionality
Statutory additionality. The project must implement actions that are beyond requirements stipulated in local legislation or regulations. Projects are statutory additional if their implementation and/or operation is not required by any law, statute, or other regulatory framework, agreements, settlements, or other legally binding mandates requiring implementation and operation or requiring implementation of similar measures that would result in the same mitigations in the host country.
Level 3 additionality
Technology, institutional, common practice additionality. The project must implement actions that are subject to barriers of implementation or accelerate deployment of technology or activities and carbon market incentives are essential in overcoming these barriers.
Level 5 additionality
Policy additionality. Implementation of actions may lie out of the scope of the host country's Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement and, therefore, not eligible for international transfer mechanism. When project implementation goes beyond its host country’s climate objectives and lies outside of the scope of its climate action strategy towards its NDCs, it is considered to be policy additional.
