The ALFAwetlands Policy Brief addresses the importance of wetlands with a focus on peatlands for climate and biodiversity protection. It highlights the potential of EU policies for the restoration of wetlands with special attention paid to the Nature Restoration Regulation (NRR) and the legally binding restoration targets of the Member States of the European Union. Within the Country Fact Sheets for Austria, Belgium, and Germany, country-specific analyses on the NRR targets to restore wetlands and specifically peatlands are showcased. The documents are available in English and national languages. |
