They also highlighted how blue carbon habitats help mitigate climate change and the role of individuals and society in protecting these ecosystems. The event concluded successfully with cash prizes awarded to the winners, along with appreciation extended to all Member States for their active participation. This reinforced the region’s shared commitment to safeguarding marine ecosystems against the impacts of climate change.
