The Global Peatland Map 2.0, launched by the Global Peatlands Initiative partners at the Peatland Pavilion during UNFCCC COP26, improves the base knowledge on the location and extent of peatlands worldwide. The Map is an effort by the GPI partners to fill a critical knowledge gap – as decision makers urgently need to know where their peatlands are to prevent their further drainage and degradation thereby to helping achieve the global climate and nature goals. The Global Peatland Map will be the baseline map used for the Global Peatlands Assessment – currently underway to bring the best available science together to produce a global overview of the State of the World’s Peatlands in 2023.
