Reversing the loss of nature and reducing the build-up of atmospheric carbon dioxide are often addressed through parallel and sometimes separate policy and delivery mechanisms. However, they are deeply interconnected. Healthy ecosystems, particularly peatlands, woodlands, wetlands and saltmarshes, act as major carbon stores. When degraded peatlands, in particular become net carbon emitters. Restoration and habitat creation can therefore be a crucial part of climate mitigation strategies, whil...
