Through government-backed support across Europe and in collaboration with multi-stakeholder partners, the EPI aims to leverage established networks to foster momentum, facilitate knowledge sharing, promote mutual learning, and augment investment in peatland protection and restoration by forging strategic partnerships for peatlands.
By assisting countries in working collaboratively, the EPI seeks to achieve the common goal of preserving valuable peatlands across Europe and playing a substantial role in global endeavors to drive action for nature, climate, and people.
In pursuing its objectives, the European Peatlands Initiative aspires to draw from the experience, expertise of members, and lessons learned from the UNEP-led Global Peatlands Initiative and other relevant networks.
