The Existence of Blue Carbon and its Prospective Role in the Preservation of Carbon Stocks and the Mitigation of Climate Change

Abstract

The substantial rise in carbon emissions can be attributed to the initiation of the industrial revolution in the 17th century. The increase in global temperature is linked to higher concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The anticipated increase in international sea levels is predicted to affect a considerable portion of the world's population significantly. The susceptibility of blue carbon ecosystems to climate change prompts inquiries regarding their capacity to operate effectively in the future while simultaneously delivering ecological advantages to coastal communities, including climate change adaptation. The primary emphasis of the study was on blue carbon, a term used to describe the process of carbon sequestration in coastal and marine ecosystems to mitigate the dangers associated with climate change.
