Peatlands can play a crucial role in achieving Net Zero goals. 🌱 These unique ecosystems act as natural carbon sinks, capturing and storing vast amounts of greenhouse gases. However, data on restoration projects needs to be accurately reported to facilitate policy development and access to funding. As the UK prepares to revise its Net Zero Strategy, it is critical to recognise the full extent of peatland restoration efforts and to develop a more accurate and comprehensive measurement system. 📖 Ongoing work by the Nature-based Solutions Initiative’s John Lynch and Xiao Zhang in collaboration with The Wildlife Trusts, as part of the Oxford Martin School Agile Initiative, is quantifying the climate benefits of vital peatland restoration work that may have been omitted from official greenhouse gas statistics. 🔗 👇

⏰ ⏳ Apply Now to join our next online course: Nature-based Solutions to Global Challenges 🎓 Held over nine weeks, this interactive course provides in-depth learning and the opportunity to network with other professionals. 🔗 Link below 👇
#NaturebasedSolutions are now widely recognised as playing a critical role in addressing major global challenges, in particular mitigating and adapting to climate change whilst delivering multiple benefits for people and nature. However, there remains confusion about what counts as a nature-based solution, how they compare to tech-based approaches, and how they should be designed, implemented, financed and governed ethically and sustainably. To address this, we offer the Nature-based Solutions to Global Challenges Foundation Course to improve awareness and understanding of the science, policy, practice, resourcing and governance of nature-based solutions.
