The objective of this report is to provide estimatesof global carbon storage in mangrove ecosystemsby developing a dataset of mangrove biomass andsoil carbon stocks at a country level across six yearsbetween 1996 and 2020. This assessment is carriedout in support of the World Bank's new edition ofits wealth report, The Changing Wealth of Nations(CWON). CWON 2024 will be the fifth report in aflagship series that has attracted global attention towealth as a complementary metric to gross domesticproduct for assessing economic prosperity. The aim isto improve the measurement of nations' wealth, witha focus on renewable natural capital; and enhanceunderstanding of the role comprehensive wealth andespecially natural capital play in ensuring growth,sustainability, and resilience to shocks and stressorssuch as climate change.The results of this assessment will inform theinclusion of mangrove carbon storage as aform of renewable natural capital and improveunderstanding of the broad range of mangroveecosystem services
