Restoring peatlands: a step towards climate neutrality

Peatlands cover 8% of the EU's surface and have a natural potential to store carbon. Unfortunately, many are degraded, releasing carbon rather than storing it. European regions need to act now to prevent further degradation. Katrien Wijns, partner in the Interreg North-West Europe Care-Peat project, will present how seven peatlands were restored, resulting in carbon saving of 9 600t of CO2/year and highlight how the project’s capitalisation approach paves the way for future climate policies.
