Short summary
Rewetting of drained peatland has the potential to contribute to reduced carbon dioxide emissions, climate adaptation and increased biodiversity. The measures implemented in the project will be used to draw lessons that can be shared between the project participants and with others.
The Land 4 Climate project focuses on rewetting of peatlands and runs between 2024 and 2027.
SLU participates in Land4Climate together with municipalities, water boards, companies and other authorities. By exchanging experiences and learning from each other across national borders, the hope is that the work on rewetting of organogenic soil can develop faster and more effectively.
The aim of the project is to:
- Rewet more peat soil
- Find methods to reduce barriers
- Develop multifunctional solutions
- Support and facilitate the engagement of local actors
- Knowledge exchange between participants and external actors
