The natural sinks of forests and peat were key to Finland’s ambitious target to be carbon neutral by 2035. But the land now emits more greenhouse gases than it stores

more about peatlands:

  • Only 17% of peatlands, vital to curbing climate change, are protected, study finds
  • Protecting peatlands and mangroves could halve Southeast Asia’s land-use emissions
  • Peru’s rare peatland swamps at risk as gold mining expands
  • Congo Peatlands - the largest and most intact across the world’s tropics
