17- 19 September, 2024 in Aviemore, Scotland
Our annual conference series provides a unique convening function for the UK peatland community which celebrates these unique and precious habitats. We bring together everyone with an interest in peatlands, from land managers to policy makers and scientists to restoration practitioners, to share their knowledge, enthusiasm and experience and seek solutions to the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss.
This year’s conference takes us to the Cairngorms of Scotland and the MacDonald Aviemore Resort, where we’ll be exploring the theme ‘Peatlands, People and Nature’. We’ll showcase the opportunities that peatland restoration and healthy peatlands present in transitioning to a green economy, and their role as nature-based solutions which support people and biodiversity. We’ll also report on the findings from our forthcoming 5 Year Strategy Report, which will assess how far we’ve come and how far is still to go in our mission to restore and sustainably manage the UK’s peatlands.
To make our conferences as inclusive and accessible as we can, the conference will be delivered as a hybrid event, with remote attendance available for selected sessions.
Further announcements will be available on our website, X and LinkedIn channels, and in our quarterly newsletters.
The Peatland Programme exists on a self-financing basis and our conferences are only possible thanks to the support of our dedicated partners and sponsors. If you are interested in supporting us this year, please see our sponsorship brochure or contact info@iucn.org.uk.
