MISHTI (Mangrove Initiative for Shoreline Habitats & Tangible Incomes) Scheme<\/b>, launched in 2023, focuses on restoring and conserving mangrove ecosystems across 11 states and 2 Union Territories. It aims to promote ecological benefits like carbon sequestration and enhance coastal resilience against climate change impacts such as sea-level rise.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

MISHTI is funded through a convergence of resources from CAMPA, MGNREGS, and other government programs. The scheme actively involves local communities in conservation efforts, providing economic benefits through the sustainable use of mangroves. It also fosters public-private partnerships to mobilize resources, aligning with India's commitments to the Paris Agreement and UN SDGs.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

MISHTI Scheme Overview<\/span><\/h2>\r\n

MISHTI (Mangrove Initiative for Shoreline Habitats & Tangible Incomes) scheme, launched in 2023 under India's <\/span>New<\/b> India<\/b> 2030<\/b> vision,<\/b> aims to promote sustainability in coastal ecosystems like mangroves, seagrasses, and coral reefs. The Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change announced it in the Union Budget FY 2023-24.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

MISHTI focuses on <\/span>conserving <\/b>Mangroves<\/b><\/a> for their ecological benefits<\/b>, including high biological productivity and carbon sequestration. It addresses climate change, supporting the green energy transition and economy. It follows India's participation in the <\/span>Mangrove Alliance for Climate<\/b>, introduced at COP27 (Egypt, 2022) of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

MISHTI Scheme Vision<\/span><\/h2>\r\n

To enhance the resilience of the Indian coast and ensure the protection of coastal life, livelihood and infrastructure against climate change consequences such as sea-level rise through conservation and management of coastal habitats.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

MISHTI Scheme Aim\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\n

MISHTI<\/b> Scheme<\/b> aims to restore mangrove forests along India\u2019s coastline through reforestation and afforestation measures, adopting best practices from both India and around the world.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

MISHTI Scheme Objectives<\/span><\/h2>\r\n

The key objectives of the <\/span>MISHTI <\/b>scheme include the convergence of resources from the <\/span>CAMPA Fund<\/b>, <\/span>MGNREGS<\/b>, and other schemes for effective implementation. It targets specific areas for mangrove restoration, such as degraded or gap areas, mudflats with historical mangroves, abandoned aquaculture ponds, and salt pans.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
