Mangroves United unites the sports community to champion climate action through the restoration of mangrove ecosystems. Healthy people for a healthy planet.
Mangroves United- “Team Up with Nature” is Goumbook’s new global campaign that calls on the sports industry to take action for climate change. The sports industry has a responsibility, as every industry holds—to decarbonise, drive sustainable practices and contribute to climate action.
As climate change threatens both natural landscapes and the facilities where sports thrive, impacting the health & wellbeing of athletes; the community must rally, for the future of sports, to be part of the solution.
Sports play a critical role as change makers and ambassadors, with a unique influence and ability to bring people together across cultures and borders, creating a shared sense of purpose and passion.
Mighty Mangroves
Just as sports foster teamwork, resilience, coexistence, diversity and adaptability; mangroves embody these values in their vital role in protecting our planet, addressing climate change, biodiversity loss & coastal resilience.
The ‘Guardians of the coast’, mangroves are a resilient and powerful nature-based solution to climate change. They sequester carbon, provide natural protection against storm surges, and support a rich biodiversity that sustains coastal communities and ecosystems.
Join Mangroves United to Team Up with Nature!
We call on the sports community: individuals & athletes of all levels, sports teams, brands, associations and fans, to harness the power of sports to take climate action, and restore mangrove ecosystems around the world.
Planting mangroves, actively supports national, regional, and global restoration efforts, while contributing to the Sustainability Development Goals, United Nations Trillion Tree Campaign, the UAE National Carbon Sequestration Project & the Global Mangrove Alliance.
