This document outlines the development of a framework to prioritize peatland restoration and conservation activities across the UK. It discusses key considerations like scenario selection, timeframes, costs and benefits, and uncertainty. Spatially explicit data on restoration impacts and costs are needed. While restoration benefits biodiversity, valuing these impacts is difficult. The framework aims to inform decisions by evaluating restoration outcomes and costs over various time periods and under uncertainty. Developing this complex framework presents challenges in obtaining sufficient data and balancing analytical demands with practical usefulness.
Peatland management impacts on water quality and biodiversity
The document discusses peatland management impacts on water quality and biodiversity. It finds that only 18% of UK peatlands remain natural, with the rest affected by land use changes. Peatland management like drainage, burning and grazing can impact water quality through changes in solute, particulate and gas concentrations and fluxes, but the evidence is limited and contradictory. Drain blocking may reduce dissolved organic carbon losses by 25% based on one study. Gully blocking may initially increase dissolved organic carbon fluxes. Long-term catchment studies are needed to better understand impacts. Management affects biodiversity through changes to wetness and vegetation height.
Presenting with impact
This document provides tips for presenting with impact. It recommends that presenters 1) have a clear purpose that outlines benefits and importance to the audience, 2) connect with the audience by understanding their concerns and using impactful stories, and 3) be authoritative yet approachable through body language and emphasis. Additionally, presenters should 4) keep their key message simple through repetition from different angles, using stories and metaphors, and 5) polish their presentation through practice, feedback, and using visual aids to support rather than replace their message.

VNN Peatlands Project Update
This document discusses the need for a project to assess and value peatland ecosystem services for sustainable management. Peatlands provide many benefits but these are often not accounted for financially. The project aims to 1) value changes to ecosystem services in complex social-ecological systems using monetary and non-monetary approaches and 2) develop options for financial mechanisms like a peatland carbon code. It also plans to create a peatland hub bringing researchers and practitioners together to better understand and manage peatlands. Planned outputs include academic papers, policy briefings, and engagement with stakeholders to apply the research.
Working with end users of research
This document discusses best practices for engaging end users in research. It recommends starting stakeholder participation early, talking to the right stakeholders, being flexible in methods used, and putting local and scientific knowledge on equal footing. The document also discusses using stakeholder analysis to systematically identify and engage relevant end users. Stakeholder analysis identifies interested parties, their power to influence outcomes, and how they interact. It can help answer questions about how parties can work more effectively together.

Presentation by Julia Martin-Ortega from James Hutton Institute at Valuing Nature Network peatland project meeting in Leeds, 18 Jan 2012
Introduction to Day 2 workshop
Introduction to Day 2 of VNN peatland workshop focused on "Developing a roadmap for peatland GHG accounting and carbon markets in the UK" (19th January 2012, Leeds)
Development of carbon code – experience from forestry
The Woodland Carbon Code (WCC) is a voluntary standard for woodland carbon sequestration projects in the UK. It was developed over three years by the Forestry Commission to provide clarity, consistency, and transparency for carbon projects and reassure investors. The WCC framework includes requirements for measuring baseline emissions, leakage, and project carbon sequestration from tree biomass, soil, and management effects. Projects must be certified against the WCC by an accredited certification body and undergo validation when starting and verification every five years. To date, 39 projects have registered under the WCC, which are projected to sequester over 750,000 tonnes of CO2e over 100 years through creating over 2,200
Peatland rewetting for carbon credits – Experience from Belarus
The document describes the Belarus Peatland Rewetting Project, which aims to rewet 18,020 hectares of degraded peatland in Belarus between 2012-2028. This will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 871,000 tons. The project will be financed through voluntary carbon markets. It follows national carbon cycle procedures in Belarus and international standards under the Voluntary Carbon Standard. Rewetting 9,440 additional hectares from 2011-2015 will reduce emissions by 260,000 tons in that period.
GEST Model – vegetation proxy for GHG flux from peatlands
This document discusses proxies for greenhouse gas fluxes from peat soils, including subsidence, water table depth, and vegetation. It notes that while subsidence indicates carbon emissions, it does not cover nitrous oxide and methane or drained situations. Water table depth can be difficult to map remotely and monitor directly. Vegetation groups can serve as indicators of mean water levels. The document provides an example of how changes in vegetation from drainage to rewetting of a bog could lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Overview of international & national policy framework
This document summarizes key aspects of international climate agreements as they relate to peatlands, including provisions under the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol for accounting for emissions and removals from wetland drainage and rewetting. It notes IUCN UK Peatland Programme's expertise in peatland restoration and role advising on greenhouse gas inventories and climate targets. Finally, it outlines various carbon market mechanisms and the need to consider payments for restoring peatland function in addition to conserving existing function.
International Verified Carbon Standard for Peatlands
The document discusses the International Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and its role in establishing standards and procedures for project-based greenhouse gas accounting and carbon markets. It outlines the VCS's methodology requirements, validation and verification procedures, and registry system. The VCS aims to stimulate mitigation innovations, provide transparency, and link carbon markets worldwide through a robust framework. Project activities must demonstrate that emission reductions are real, additional, permanent, and independently verified.
Towards a framework for peatland PES
The document discusses the cost effectiveness of peatland management and restoration. It provides some illustrative examples showing the upfront and ongoing costs of restoration techniques like grip blocking in uplands, and compares the costs per ton of carbon dioxide saved to other mitigation options. However, it notes the results are dependent on assumptions and site-specific conditions that require more detailed monitoring and data collection to properly assess overall cost effectiveness relative to other options and the costs of inaction. Proper targeting of restoration efforts needs better geographic data.
Who benefits from what and where? Considerations of scale and methods for val...
1. Valuing ecosystem services provided by peatlands is challenging due to issues of scale and spatial heterogeneity. The value of services like carbon sequestration is global, while others like recreation are local.
2. Spatial data on factors like population distribution, ecosystem characteristics, and accessibility is needed to understand how values vary across locations. Distance from the ecosystem and between beneficiaries also influences values.
3. Previous studies on peatland valuation provide limited spatially explicit data. Benefit transfer methods are commonly used but depend on comparability between study sites. More primary valuation studies are needed that account for spatial factors.
Incentive design to promote participation and uptake by landowners
This document discusses incentive design to promote landowner participation in conservation programs. It notes that asymmetric information, where landowners know the cost of conservation but funding bodies do not, can lead to adverse selection and moral hazard. Contract menus and auctions are proposed as revelation mechanisms to incentivize landowners to reveal private information and select optimal conservation practices, while minimizing costs for funding bodies. The document advocates designing incentives compatible with landowner risk aversion to maximize environmental benefits from conservation programs.
Promoting cross-boundary collaboration for ecosystem service management at la...
The document discusses encouraging collaboration across property boundaries to provide ecosystem services. It identifies several prerequisites for collaboration, including a shared perception of problems, a willingness to cooperate, opportunities to trial new approaches, and support for realigning public expenditures. The planning process involves stakeholder analysis, spatial planning, existing incentives, market drivers, budgets, ecosystem services trade-offs, and available technologies. Implementation requires good communication, capacity building, partnership groups to promote the scheme, and awareness raising through various means.
Payments for peatland ecosystem services in the Natural Environment White Paper
The document discusses opportunities for payments for ecosystem services (PES) schemes in the UK, noting they have potential to provide new financing streams for conservation if they can directly link those who benefit from ecosystem services to those who manage the land. Barriers to PES include informational, technical, financial, and institutional challenges, though none are insurmountable. Defra's work includes developing best practice guidance, funding pilot PES projects, and reviewing barriers and recommendations to support wider use of these schemes.
Towards a framework for peatland PES
1) Payments for ecosystem services (PES) is one option to correct market failures that cause ecosystems to be neglected, but it faces challenges in implementation related to additionality, conditionality, and voluntary provision.
2) While agri-environment schemes are similar to PES, they are limited in duration, not tied to actual ecosystem service values, and have high administrative costs.
3) For PES to work for peatland management in the UK, greater acceptance, market confidence, and better incentive structures are needed, including better spatial coordination and monitoring to ensure additional ecosystem services. The public sector has an important role to play in supporting PES market creation.
