Peatlands:
The climate solution
we forgot champion!

Explore what happened at GLF Peatlands 2024

Peatlands may look ordinary, but theyโ€™re hiding a powerful secret โ€“ these unassuming areas are the ultimate carbon sinks, pulling carbon from the air as natural purifiers.

What if we could build a global movement
to harness this power?

Thatโ€™s exactly what we aimed to do at GLF Peatlands 2024 Hybrid Conference, when 1,300 experts gathered in Bonn, Germany, and online, and 433,000 more joined the conversation from across the globe.

Explore inspiring stories and powerful insights shedding light on the state of peatlands and their future!
