Overall objective

‘Branding’ LIFE Multi Peat via increasing the recognition of the project name, its main goals and outputs to create broader support for peatland restoration and conservation across Europe.

Specific objectives

➣ Increasing knowledge
Sharing strategies for paludiculture, peatland restoration measures, methods and tools on how to reduce the Global Warming Potential (GWP) as well as GHG monitoring instruments and standards will lead to increased knowledge on restoring peatlands, reducing carbon emissions, and increasing carbon storage. Additionally, via highlighting effective policy tool such as an EU-wide policy catalogue, knowledge regarding EU policy on peat habitats and peat extraction among target audiences will increase.

Sharing and exchanging the experience and lessons learned from the project implementation, including strategies for paludiculture techniques, peatland restoration measures, methods and tools on how to reduce the Global Warming Potential (GWP) as well as GHG monitoring instruments and standards. The project’s communication activities will contribute lead to the increased body of knowledge on peatland restoration restoring peatlands, reducing reduction of carbon emissions, and increase ing of carbon storage. Additionally Moreover, the creation/establishment and dissemination of an EU-wide policy catalogue will improve the public knowledge and awareness of peatland issues, including policy and environmental information.via highlighting effective policy tool such as an EU-wide policy catalogue, knowledge regarding EU policy on peat habitats and peat extraction among target audiences will increase.

➣ Raising awareness / influencing attitude
As part of this objective, the goal is to showcase how healthy peatlands contribute to mitigating climate change by functioning as carbon sinks, reducing desiccation and GHG emissions. Moreover, raising awareness in the decision-making arena by fact sheets, key policy analyses and recommendations, and national reviews of the CAP’s impact on peatlands and GHG emissions is important to ensure informed decisions made by policy-makers in the future.

➣ Changing behaviour 
Project partners will attempt to achieve a behavioural change among target groups to implement best practices regarding paludiculture and peatland restoration and management from a practical perspective, as well as regarding the development of future peatland policy concerning peatlands from a policy perspective.
