International Free Zone Authority (IFZA) pledges to continue the GROW Initiative at the Jebel Ali Wildlife Sanctuary as they present the achievement of successfully planting the 10,000 mangrove trees at the Jubail Mangrove Park in Abu Dhabi. The current phase of the initiative involves planting 20,000 mangroves at Jebel Ali by yearend. This solution is estimated to sequester 2.3 million kg of CO2 over the lifetime of the forest. IFZA’s commitment to contributing further to the UAE National Biodiversity Strategy and working towards the objective of planting 100 million trees by 2030, is an essential step in the journey towards climate neutrality.
Future phases of this initiative will see an interlinked network of both coastal and land-based forests in strategic locations around the world. The trees have been planted as a part of its flagship project which is the multi-phase IFZA Grow Initiative, aimed at establishing a web of mangrove forests globally as part of its commitment to the One Billion Trees Initiative (OBTI) that was established by The Story Group (TSG).
