International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)

According to International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List of Ecosystems. more than half of the world's mangrove ecosystems face collapse, with climate change posing a significant threat, according to the first global mangrove assessment.

Over 50% of mangrove ecosystems at risk, with nearly 1 in 5 facing severe risk.
Climate change threatens 33% of mangrove ecosystems, leading to increased risk from sea-level rise and severe storms.
Deforestation, development, pollution, and dam construction also pose serious threats to mangroves.
IUCN-led study involving 250+ experts in 44 countries classified mangrove ecosystems in 36 regions, assessing threats and risk.
Climate change and sea-level rise could lead to the loss of 1.8 billion tonnes of carbon stored in mangroves by 2050, valued at least USD 13 billion.
One-third of mangrove ecosystem provinces to be severely affected by sea-level rise, with 25% of global mangrove area predicted to be submerged in 50 years.
Maintaining mangrove ecosystems crucial for mitigating climate change impacts, providing coastal protection, and supporting biodiversity.
