How can we better integrate blue carbon into climate policy?

Background

Climate change and biodiversity loss represent two interlinked crises affecting Scotland's
marine and freshwater environments. Understanding the impacts of climate change,
developing effective adaptation strategies, and enhancing the resilience of marine and
freshwater ecosystems are essential for delivering the Blue Economy Vision and meeting
Scotland's climate and biodiversity commitments
