WWF Singapore, Hatch Blue partner to tackle blue carbon

Blue carbon ecosystems are highly effective at fighting climate change.

The World Wide Fund for Nature Singapore and Hatch Blue have launched the Blue Catalyst, an open challenge to find technological solutions for expanding blue carbon ecosystems.

Blue carbon ecosystems, such as mangroves and seagrasses, are highly effective at fighting climate change because they store up to four times more carbon than other ecosystems.

These ecosystems also safeguard $1b (US$800b) in food security and livelihoods annually, yet 40% of mangrove-dependent species are threatened globally.

However, carbon markets are becoming a key way to finance the restoration of these ecosystems, with their value projected to grow to as much as $45b (US$35b) by 2030.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
