Using the Peatland Code
A guide to how to use the IUCN UK Peatland Programme's Peatland Code to restore your peatland using carbon credits.
Peatland Code
The Peatland Code is a voluntary standard for UK peatland projects wishing to market the climate benefit of restoration.
The Peatland Code provides assurance and clarity for business and other investors in peatland restoration projects through independent validation and verification. The Peatland Code works on the basis that during restoration, carbon savings are made through rapid emissions reductions.
