World Wetlands Day: Youth for Our Common Future
Theme Capacity building
How can peatland rewetting and innovative land-use concepts be combined for an effective contribution to climate change mitigation? What are innovative examples for creating and strengthening regional value chains? What strategies can overcome barriers and challenges to enable a just transition to sustainable peatland use?
The 4th RRR conference on Renewable Resources from Wet and Rewetted Peatlands in Greifswald offers a platform to explore these questions and many others, fostering dialogue between science and practice. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, the event aims to encourage knowledge exchange, build networks, and develop and strengthen practical, forward-looking solutions.
The Greifswald Mire Centre warmly invites you to join the RRR2025 conference and to actively contribute to shaping a sustainable future for our peatlands.
Scope of the conference
The use of wetland biomass has a long history and has recently gained renewed attention as global efforts focus on renewable resources and climate protection. The term "paludiculture" was created and introduced in 1998,more than 25 years ago. Since then, significant progress has been made in areas such as rewetting, cultivation methods, biomass processing, marketing, policy development, and raising public awareness. This conference aims to unite stakeholders involved in paludiculture, welcoming scientists, landowners and land users, administrators, businesses, artists, designers, policymakers, conservationists and all other interested people.
