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. Browse through our Coastal Zone pages to see how you can connect with our growing network of organisations and businesses. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.

Context
Coral reefs are central to the economy and livelihoods of Palau while providing risk reduction benefits. However, climate change is posing a serious threat to the survival of corals. Rise in sea surface temperature and ocean acidification as a result of climate change is causing more frequent and severe coral bleaching events. Future projections also indicate that widespread coral bleaching will occur annually in Palau’s coral reefs by 2040.
