A global ambition for peatlands: Introducing the Peatland Breakthrough Launch Brief

Peatlands have an extraordinary role to play in addressing some of the world's most pressing environmental challenges. But what will it take to secure their future, and how can we work together to make it happen?

The Peatland Breakthrough’s upcoming Launch Brief brings together the ambition, science and opportunities behind a growing global call to protect and restore these vital ecosystems.

Developed for the launch of the Peatland Breakthrough at UNFCCC COP31, the publication revises the Global Peatland Targets and explores how governments, communities, businesses, financial institutions and conservation organisations can help turn ambition into action.

Featuring examples from 21 countries across six regions, the brief offers a glimpse into the remarkable diversity of peatland landscapes and the efforts already underway to safeguard them. It also explores how stronger partnerships, innovative financing and supportive policies can help accelerate progress worldwide.

Whether you are a policymaker, investor, conservation practitioner or simply interested in the future of our planet, this publication offers an introduction to the Peatland Breakthrough and the opportunities to be part of it.
