Leveraging plural valuations of mangroves for climate interventions in Indonesia

ABSTRACT: Mangrove forests are globally significant blue carbon sinks that remain critically under-governed and under threat. In Indonesia, the rapid rate of mangrove loss over the past three decades, combined with the promise of these carbon-dense ecosystems to mitigate climate change impacts, has catalyzed the world’s largest replanting program. Institutional and ideological divisions between advocates of conservation and commodification approaches to mangrove governance, however, have historically compromised Indonesia’s ability to meet its climate commitments.

Drawing on the concept of leverage points, this study examin
