LIFEPeatLandUse

Financier: LIFE + Enviroment Policy and Governance

Partners: 6 + 2 with independent funding

Purpose:
The project (2013–2018) provided information on the environmental and economic impacts of the re-use of low-productive drained peatlands and, thus, finding holistically cost-effective alternatives for peatland use.

Impact:
The project created a science-based approach for decision makers to illustrate the impacts of alternative peatland re-use on biodiversity, waterways and carbon sequestration enabling holistically sustainable land use decisions.
