COP30 is a chance for peatlands
We are taking it at these events
15/11/2025 Trying to make maximum impact for peatlands at COP30 in Brazil with Franziska Tanneberger, co-director of the Greifswald Mire Centre, on the ground at these events:
17.11. Security from the Ground Up: Soils and the Foundations of Resilience
This high-level session will explore how land restoration, soil governance, and ecosystem recovery (e.g. peatland rewetting) can advance climate resilience, post-war reconstruction for example in Ukraine, and regional stability — building security from the ground up.
🗓️ Monday, 17th November 2025, 10:30-12:00 a.m. (local time in Belém), 14:30 (CET)
📍 Ukraine Pavilion

17.11.: Mainstreaming NBS for climate resilience in EAC
The side event showcases how East Africa is advancing climate-resilient development through Nature-based Solutions—from large-scale landscape restoration to sustainable peatland management—while strengthening regional cooperation and highlighting pathways for partnership financing and policy integration.
📆 Monday, 17th November 2025, 11-12:30 (local time in Belém),15 (CET)
📍 EAC Pavilion C-72
17.11. The Peatland Breakthrough: From Evidence to Action
Together, we’ll explore how evidence-based action can accelerate peatland conservation, restoration and sustainable use as essential pathways for climate mitigation, biodiversity protection and resilient communities.
🗓️ Monday, 17th November 2025, 14:30–15:30 (local time in Belém), 18:30 (CET)

17.11. Peatland Breakthrough
This event will explore how the Peatland Breakthrough is catalyzing global action, and uniting countries, communities, and companies to restore and protect one of the world’s most carbon-dense ecosystems: peatlands

21.11.: Integrating Peatland Restoration and FOLU within the Global Carbon Market Framework
Tropical peatlands play a critical role in global climate regulation as long-term carbon reservoirs. Nevertheless, their contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation is increasingly threatened by degradation, insufficient financial support, and uncertainties in emerging carbon market mechanisms.
