Fig. 2: A global-scale climate-smart prioritisation requires less area and is more resilient than a country-scale prioritisation.

a Global-scale and (b) country-scale climate-smart spatial prioritisation. Note that the % selection is shown because the original 631 km2 for each planning unit in the analysis was aggregated at a resolution of ~ 63,000 km2 for visualisation. c % mangrove area selected and (d) area-weighted climate resilience of the mangrove areas selected in the prioritisations by country (each country is a triangle or a dot). Both prioritisations used a climate-smart threshold of 0.3. The horizontal lines show (c) the total % of mangrove area selected and (d) the global average climate resilience.
