Wetlands are vital for biodiversity conservation and climate regulation, but their contribution to mitigating climate change is often underestimated by policy makers. A lack of good quality data and complex management needs only adds to the challenge. during European Green Week, which coordinated the project, said ‘Wetlands are a climate solution and they also support biodiversity. When wetlands are restored, the climate wins, nature wins and society wins.’
LIFE WetLands4CLIMATE supports the EU Climate Action Strategy, the integrated framework for European climate resilience and risk management and the decarbonisation pillar of the EU competitiveness compass. The project also contributes to the EU Birds, Habitats and Water Framework Directives, the 2030 EU Biodiversity Strategy and the Nature Restoration Regulation.
