I shared my scientific assessments on the strategic role of peatland ecosystems in the global carbon balance and climate change. By highlighting the impacts of carbon emissions resulting from the degradation of peatlands on the climate system, I emphasized the critical importance of protecting these sensitive ecosystems and ensuring their sustainable management.

Short excerpts from the news:

Peatlands, despite covering a very small portion of the Earth’s surface, store a disproportionately large amount of carbon, making them one of the most critical natural carbon sinks.

When degraded or drained, peatlands shift from being carbon sinks to significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions.

Protecting and restoring peatlands is one of the most effective nature-based solutions in combating climate change.

Sustainable land and water management strategies are essential to maintain the ecological integrity and carbon storage capacity of these ecosystems.
