As part of the EUKI ‘Building the European Peatlands Initiative: A Strong Alliance for Peatland Climate Protection in Europe ’ project CEEweb’s screening of exemplary policies for peatland related content is published. The assessment not only contains up-to-data peatland-related data from six countries (Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland) but also delves into the past of the countries’ peatland loss.
Especially after the EU’s Nature Restoration Law entering into force Central and Eastern European countries need increased dedicated national funding to advance implementation of their existing peatland-related policies. In all six countries assessed, EU funds represent the key funding source for peatlands (although in Germany and Estonia substantial amounts have been dedicated to peatland restoration from national funds). An unexploited potential is the involvement of the private sector for supporting climate-related targets (where Latvia and Lithuania can serve as an example).
