Mangrove forest represents a critical ecosystem to build resilience against climate change impacts along Djibouti’s coastal zones. Mangroves provide a natural defense against extreme weather events and buffer against sea level rise while absorbing carbon, acting as a haven for biodiversity and providing livelihood options for coastal communities. Globally, each hectare of mangrove forest provides ecosystem services worth an estimated US $33,000-$57,000 annually (UNEP 2021).
Restoring and rehabilitating mangroves represent key adaptation measures that Djibouti is pursuing as part of its National Adaptation Plan of Action and Nationally Determined Contributions.
