#ExcitingNews: Today @wmo-global.bsky.social and the Convention on Wetlands signed a Memorandum of Understanding, establishing a framework for collaboration. The MoU aims to leverage the complementary strengths of the two institutions to strengthen the science–policy interface. #WetlandsMatter

🎉15 DAYS TO GO! 🎉

First celebrated in 1997 and a United Nations International Day since 2022, #WorldWetlandsDay honours the beauty and value of wetlands.

💻 Wetlands in Action Webinars - Session 4: Registration is open!

🛰️ "Remote Sensing of #Wetland and #Peatland Dynamic: #Restoration and Carbon Emissions"

Date: 10 February 2026
Time: 11:00 –12:00 (CET)
Location: Online 💻

Registration link 👉 us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

🍃 #Peatlands store vast amounts of #carbon and play a key role in #water regulation and #biodiversity protection. Yet decades of drainage and land-use change have left many European peatlands degraded, turning former climate allies into sources of greenhouse gas emissions.

✨ Happy New Year! Let’s kick off 2026 with fresh science and sharp discussions.

🌿#Peatland forests across Europe are highly diverse ecosystems varying in nutrient levels, peat depth, hashtag#hydrology, and #management practices. This complexity makes both forestry operations and ecological restoration particularly challenging.

🌍 Meet our coordinator 👏

Based in Spain, IDENER.AI is a research SME that combines artificial intelligence, systems modelling, and optimisation to address complex scientific and engineering challenges.

🌍 8 Open Labs. 1 shared mission.

Focusing on techniques like #rewetting, the project aims to reduce carbon loss, enhance carbon storage, and restore #biodiversity. Where can you find our Open Labs?

🔹 Finland
🔹 Estonia
🔹 Netherlands
🔹 Austria
🔹 Poland
🔹 Portugal
🔹 Italy
🔹 Sweden

🗺️ Where can we find Europe’s #peatlands?

They stretch across the continent, but the largest concentrations are found in Finland and Sweden, followed by significant areas in Estonia, the Netherlands, and Poland.

🎥 New #REWET video!

We visit the Marchauen Nature Reserve in Austria — a floodplain landscape blooming again after more than 50 years of restoration. 🌿

Discover how REWET is contributing to its recovery!

💧 #ForPeat is restoring forested peatlands through sustainable management, modelling tools & nature-based solutions — boosting carbon storage, soil health & biodiversity.

#Peatlands #ClimateAction #Biodiversity #HorizonEurope

🌿 Peatlands cover just 2.84% of Earth’s land but store 25% of its soil carbon — twice as much as all forests combined!

When healthy, they trap carbon & regulate water. When drained, they release massive GHGs.

🌿 New EU project alert! ForPeat is advancing sustainable management & restoration of Europe’s forested peatlands 🌍

Through 8 Open Labs, AI tools & multi-actor collaboration, we aim to boost carbon storage, biodiversity & climate resilience.
