Launch event: Investing in Peatlands publication

Functional, healthy peatlands are the most space-efficient, long-term and concentrated carbon stores and sinks in our planet’s biosphere.

With the launch of the “Investing in Peatlands” publication, organisations working at the front line of restoration come together to make the case for landscape-level investment into peatlands. A scale that can provide multiple co-benefits including cultural, enhance biodiversity, reduce flood risks and improve water quality. From an economic perspective, they can boost local business development, provide access to biodiversity and water credits, and offer financial returns from carbon markets. Join us to explore the opportunities for investment and hear from pilot projects and landscapes showcasing how to enable this.
