Green Frontiers: Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Resilience through Mangrove Restoration and Saline Agriculture

Session Description: The high-level panel will explore the transformative potential of nature-based solutions in building climate resilience across coastal landscapes, especially the Red Sea Coastline. With a focus on mangrove restoration and saline agriculture, the session brings together perspectives from finance, policy, and science to discuss scalable innovations that address both environmental and socio-economic challenges. Panelists will delve into: How green finance is unlocking investment in ecosystem-based adaptation. The role of government policy in enabling integrated coastal management. Cutting-edge research and technologies driving sustainable agriculture in saline environments. This session is hosted under the Mangrove Eco-system Restoration Project at The American University in Cairo, which is pioneering nature-based climate solutions along the Red Sea coast, a region at the frontline of climate vulnerability and ecological opportunity.
