Multi-Stakeholder Workshop - Improving Central and Eastern European policy responses to protect, restore and sustainably manage peatlands in the fight against climate warming

Peatlands have an essential role in achieving global and pan-European climate and sustainability objectives. While healthy peatlands can be the most space-efficient long-term carbon store and sink in our planet’s terrestrial biosphere — twice as much as in all the world’s forests — European peatlands are still massively degrading.

This one-day hybrid event will feature presentations and discussions together with a field trip to strengthen pan-European relations, specifically in Central and Eastern Europe, and to exchange views on policy practices aimed at conserving, restoring and sustainably managing peatlands. Improved collaboration on a European (and global) scale is crucial for preserving and bringing our peatlands to a healthy state.
