Boreal Climate change Peatlands
Policy brief - Protecting northern peatlands
WCS Canada, Smart Prosperity Institute
A vital cost-effective approach to curbing Canada's climate impact
Abstract
Protecting and maintaining northern peatlands, which are huge stores and important sinks for carbon, is essential to meeting national and global climate targets. But without mechanisms to measure and account for emissions associated with these areas, we risk losing ground on a significant natural climate solution.
