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 1 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 2a 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 3 additionality

Financial additionality II. The project is financially additional if it faces significant financial limitations that revenues from the sale of carbon credits mitigates or are revenues due to the sale of carbon credits are the only source of revenues. When carbon credit revenues are a precondition for the implementation of the project and/or carbon credit revenues are essential in maintaining the project operations and ongoing financial viability post-implementation, then they are considered to be financial additional II.

Level 4b 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.

Level 5 additionality

The combined CO2 removals from the atmosphere amount to 30 tCO2e during this monitoring period. Over the Project’s lifetime, the CO2 removals from the atmosphere total 27,910 tCO2e.

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

SDG 13: Climate Action

The project aims to reduce marine pollution by improving water quality through the natural biofilter action of mangroves. These mangroves trap sediments, nutrients, and pollutants with their dense root systems, effectively reducing marine debris and nutrient pollution. While the exact quantity of pollution reduction is not quantified at this initial stage of plantation, the overall water quality is expected to improve over the project's lifetime by reducing runoff and filtering pollutants.

Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development

SDG 14: Life Below Water

The project aims to increase forest area as a proportion of total land area, specifically through the stabilization of coastlines and the prevention of erosion by mangroves. These mangroves not only reduce storm surge impacts but also conserve adjacent terrestrial ecosystems and maintain both terrestrial and freshwater biodiversity. As mangrove coverage increases, it helps in conserving terrestrial ecosystems and their biodiversity, leading to sustained conservation over the project's lifetime.

Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss

SDG 15: Life on Land

Afforestation and reforestation

The Rahima Bay Sustainable Wetlands and Mangrove Conservation (RB-SWAM) project by Saudi Aramco aims to restore 246 hectares of mangrove ecosystems in Raheema Bay, Saudi Arabia. it is projected to mitigate  930 tCO2e/year annually.Despite this, the project supports biodiversity and aligns with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and international climate commitments, highlighting the crucial role of mangroves in carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation.
