Cases of peatland management

FAO supports countries to advance with peatland mapping, monitoring, and improved management, to support sustainable livelihoods, maintain and restore ecosystem services, and halt the losses caused by peatland drainage, contributing to targets on better environment and better production. FAO supports countries in advancing sustainable, wet peatland management at the regional, national and field levels. Support includes:

• Policies and governance such as integration of peatlands into national legislative, regulatory, planning and monitoring processes,
• Knowledge sharing and capacity development,
• Technical support, in particular focused on mapping, definition, monitoring and Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV), and
• Mobilizing resources.
