Project Description

The project involves the large-scale restoration of degraded intertidal mangrove ecosystems across multiple coastal sites in Saudi Arabia. It aims to enhance carbon sequestration through afforestation and reforestation of native Avicennia marina, improve sediment stability, and restore ecological integrity. The intervention contributes to long-term climate change mitigation and coastal resilience in arid, high-salinity environments. The project has an estimated annual average GHG emission mitigation of 69,351 t CO2e.

Sustainable Developement Goals

Climate Action

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

Life on Land

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

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.
