Mangrove Breakthrough call for Projects: Expression of Interest

The first cohort of the Mangrove Breakthrough Call for Projects closed on January 31st and is currently under review. The second cohort is now open for new submissions. If you already submitted an application during the first cohort, please wait to hear from the Mangrove Breakthrough team regarding your submission before reapplying. The Mangrove Breakthrough is a global movement aimed at reshaping the way mangroves are valued, financed, and protected. It brings together governments, investors, civil society, and local communities to drive system-wide change, mobilizing $4 billion toward protecting, restoring, and avoiding loss to secure the future of over 15 million hectares of mangroves by 2030. What We’re Looking For We invite projects and enterprises that align with the Mangrove Breakthrough’s mission and offer nature-based or nature-tech solutions to submit their projects. Activities should include: ● Mangrove protection, restoration, or regenerative practices; ● Blue carbon finance; ● Biodiversity crediting or climate-linked financial tools; ● Community-based approaches supporting livelihoods and local stewardship; ● Technology for mangrove monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV), or impact assessment; ● Mangrove-positive businesses: opportunities in commercial sectors that directly or indirectly influence mangrove outcomes globally. For example: mangrove-adjacent businesses (fisheries, aquaculture, coastal agriculture, sustainable tourism, shipping, or real estate) Projects selected through this Expression of Interest may gain early visibility and engagement opportunities, including: ● Showcasing on the Restor platform ● Visibility at global events such as COP, New York Climate Week, and regional climate finance summits ● Consideration for curated deal rooms, roundtables, and thematic showcases ● Joint communication efforts and project promotion ● Connection with aligned funders and investors ● Inclusion in pipeline development initiatives for Nature-based Solutions Applicants from all countries are eligible/encouraged to submit.
