Development

Atmospheric pollutants are diverse in nature: they may be particulate (such as dust deposits), or they may be chemical (such as gaseous vehicle emissions). Peatlands are particularly vulnerable to atmospheric pollution as they receive high levels of precipitation (rain, sleet, snow or hail) and occult precipitation (fog, dew, mist or cloud water).

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.
