What is the Global Peatlands Initiative?
An effort by leading experts and institutions to save peatlands as the world’s largest terrestrial organic carbon stock and to prevent it being emitted into the atmosphere.
Get startedProvide an updated overall assessment of the status of peatlands and their importance in the global carbon cycle and to national economies. It emphasizes peatlands’ role in enabling the achievement of global commitments to mitigate climate change, as outlined in the Paris Agreement.
Identify and begin to respond to the needs of pilot countries with substantial peat coverage through building the knowledge base and developing options to reduce degradation. Improve the sustainability of peatland management including through restoration and the development and adoption of sustainable peatland strategies and action plans.

😖Ireland’s degraded peatlands emit 11 million tonnes of carbon per year❗️
🟢Restoring the #carboncapture capacity of #peatlands would make them a major ally in the #climatecrisis.

The knowledge is there, we know that the future of #peatlands is wet. That we need people to build this future. And that we lost much time already. Partnerships as with @zukunftmoor are essential to move forward! #paludiculture #NatureRestorationLaw #peatlandsmatter
It was great fun to visit the cattail peatlands near Neukalen this week. You are the best, @greifswaldmoor, @succow_fndn and team @zukunftmoor. The passion you all have to make nature based carbon solutions work is contagious and addictive. https://twitter.com/zukunftmoor/status/1540372504438611969

Peatlands are a source of life for plants, animals and people; they play a critical role in climate change mitigation and adaptation
Let's support more effective efforts toward their conservation and restoration 🙌
