Belize Engages in Blue Carbon Knowledge Exchange in South Korea

Belize is taking part in the World Bank–KPOK Knowledge Exchange on Blue Carbon, a global forum focused on carbon markets and climate solutions. The event, running from March 31 to April 4, 2025, in Seoul and Jeju, South Korea, brings together experts and country representatives to explore strategies for harnessing blue carbon in climate action.

Representing Belize is Deputy Chief Climate Change Officer Sumeet Betancourt, who is contributing to technical discussions, sharing lessons learned, and presenting Belize’s ongoing work to enhance carbon market readiness.

A statement from the Belize National Climate Change Office reads, “Both blue and green carbon remain priority areas under Belize’s NDCs. Opportunities like these help keep Belize informed and provide valuable guidance as we strengthen our nationally driven approach.”
