C-BLUES seeks to enhance knowledge and understanding of Blue Carbon Ecosystems (BCEs), including emerging BCEs like natural and farmed kelp systems, and increase BCE inclusion in national greenhouse gas inventories and reporting under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

C-BLUES is a Horizon Europe Framework project funded under the Joint EU-ChinaFlagship Initiative on Climate Change & Biodiversity, call for EU-China international cooperation on blue carbon (HORIZON-CL5-2023-D1-02). 
 
The project runs from 1 April 2024 - 31 March 2028.
