o The Global Peatland Map 2.0, launched by the Global Peatlands Initiative and its partners at the Peatland Pavilion during UNFCCC COP26, enhances our foundational knowledge regarding the location and extent of peatlands worldwide. The Map represents the collaborative effort of GPI partners to address a critical knowledge gap. Decision-makers urgently require information about the location of peatlands to prevent their further drainage and degradation, thereby contributing to the achievement of global climate and nature conservation goals. The Global Peatland Map serves as the foundational map for the Global Peatlands Assessment, which brings the best available science together to produce a global overview of the State of the World’s Peatlands.
