The CTCN brings together stakeholders who want to leverage ecosystem services from lakes, rivers, oceans and coastal zones to capture carbon emissions, also commonly referred to as Blue Carbon. A key approach is to adapt coastal zones to climatic changes through technologies such as wetland restoration, beach nourishment and a combination of other well-established and innovative technologies.
