About the event
Rapid Engagement with Stressed Peatland Environments and Communities in Transformation (RESPECT) is an innovative project that will produce data, methods, landholder tools and proposals for governance reforms to change agricultural practices on peatland, and reduce emissions from land use.
RESPECT was awarded £4.5 million by the UKRI Land Use for Net Zero Research programme over three years. It is a collaboration between the University of Glasgow, and the Universities of Newcastle, Hull and Stirling, that brings together expertise in law, archaeology, ecology and environmental geography.
The Peat Café builds on the network developed through both the University of Glasgow’s Bright Edge Deep and Discipline Hopping Wetlands initiative and Peat: Past Present and Future network based at the University of Manchester and the north-west more widely.
This is the University of Glasgow's fourth season of hosting the Peat Café; this year, it's being run by PhD student Isobel Harvey, Nicki Whitehouse and Mel Giles, with others dipping in and out.
