The ongoing drainage of peatlands for agricultural use in the EU releases significant amounts of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. Peatland rewetting is a highly effective climate mitigation measure, while resulting in multiple other environmental and social benefits. Mitigation measures can involve productive use of rewetted peatlands through plasticulture, as well as full peatland restoration.

Projects grouped in this category aim to respond to the GHG monitoring, verification and reporting challenges associated with peatland re-wetting and propose novel contract solutions for rewarding farmers for improved practices.
