Frontiers 2018/2019: Emerging issues of environmental concern

  • 1.
  • 2. BE PART OF THE SOLUTION! Because #PeatlandsMatter To learn more about this Initiative please contact: Dianna Kopansky, UN Environment dianna.kopansky@un.org And have a look at our website: http://www.globalpeatlands.org/

Editor's Notes

  1. Every few years, UNEP reaches out to over 500 scientists and all countries of the world to ask them the top 5 global emerging issues of global environmental concern. Last year people identified peatlands as one of these. Our session will explore the unique properties of peatlands on permafrost and how special these vastly unknown places are for the people, the planet and our climate future. The chapter, Permafrost Peatlands: Losing ground in a warming world is a collaboration and has been reviewed by top scientists. It’s my honor and absolute pleasure to introduce you to Prof. Hans Joosten. Hans is a world renowned peatlands scientist, the Secretary General of the International Mire Conservation Group and Professor at Greifswald University part of the Greifswald Mire Center who are a vital partner of our Global Peatlands Initiative. And he will dive into sharing what he knows about this interesting ecosystem.
  2. So we encourage you, and the members of the Initiative to BE AHEAD OF THE CURVE AND BE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE SOLUTION! Because #Peatlands Matter to us all! Get on board with efforts to support peatlands protection, conservation, restoration and sustainable use through strong partnerships, investments, and funding. Invest in the partnership by sharing your knowledge on techniques to accellerate rewetting, look into wet-agricultre or plaudiculture, and help to protect intact, wet peatlands. The Global Peatlands Initiative members invite you to join us as we forge ahead to change attitudes on peatlands and make their importance known.   To learn more about this initiative please contact: Dianna Kopansky, UN Environment dianna.kopansky@un.org And have a look at our website: http://www.globalpeatlands.org/. Thank you!
