The EU-funded projects WaterLANDS and Care-Peat are organising an event on 26^th October 2022 afternoon, in Brussels’ European Quarter.

The event “For peat’s sake” – Strengthening peatlands’ targets in the Nature Restoration Law will showcase why healthy peatlands are key to a successful Nature Restauration Law. The event will consist in two parts:

– Part I: Technical seminar on contributions of peatlands towards EU Green Deal commitments from the WaterLANDS and Care-Peat projects (from 14:00 to 16.15 approximately). This Part I is addressed to technical experts.

– Part II: High-level policy event – upon special invitation only and with prioritised registration for decision-makers due to limited space available (from 17.00 to 18.15 approximately, followed by networking drinks). The high-level policy event will be hosted by Member of the European Parliament, Jutta Paulus, Shadow rapporteur for the Greens group on the Nature Restoration Law, and enclose a statement of Environment Commissioner Virginius Sinkevičius (TBC). This part II is addressed to decision-makers.
