The IUCN UK Peatland Programme and Richard Lindsay from the Sustainability Research Institute, University of East London have produced a new Virtual Peatland Pavilion, supported by UNEP’s Global Peatlands Initiative.
Building on the success of previous virtual peatland pavilions built for COP26 and COP27, the latest offering was built for COP28 and allows you to explore peatlands from the comfort of your own home. It highlights the importance of global peatlands for the climate, people and the planet as a key nature-based solution to climate change.
The 3D tour is full of inspiring peatland materials from around the world, including videos on paludiculture and peatland restoration work, policy documents, sustainable finance documents and technical compendiums. The pavilion also showcases creative inspiration from peatlands including music, artwork displays and audiovisual explorations. On Floor 8, you will find ‘Sphagnum World’, a guide to Sphagnum identification.
The virtual peatland pavilions are a global collaboration between the UN, States, NGOs, academia, practitioners, business communities and people. They have been created as a long-lasting resource and knowledge hub. Over the coming months, the latest pavilion will evolve as new content from across the global peatland community is added, so please do take a tour.
