Blue carbon - harnessing the power of the ocean for climate and justice - Episode 18 (with Elizabeth Macpherson)

from Law at the End of the World

In this episode, Cristy interviews Liz about her Blue Carbon Futures research program. While it’s been claimed that blue carbon ecosystems can sequester up to 10 times more carbon than terrestrial forests, the legal frameworks needed to protect and restore them are fragmented, contested, and in many cases, underdeveloped. Liz unpacks how ownership disputes, traditional land law boundaries, and colonial legacies create hurdles for Indigenous communities trying to restore and finance these vital wetlands.Priority questions for the next decade of blue carbon scienceTe Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and Minister of Conservation 2026High Court pauses Ngāi Tahu challenge to Conservation reformsSmiler v Attorney-General [2026] NZHC 375Our Freshwater 2026 Tō Tātou Wai Māori Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility v.
