The UK Peatland Code

The UK Peatland Code is a set of guidelines designed to encourage investment in projects that restore and protect peatlands—wetlands rich in carbon and biodiversity. By using a standard framework, it ensures that conservation efforts deliver genuine environmental benefits, such as reducing greenhouse gases and enhancing wildlife habitats. The code helps landowners, investors, and stakeholders work together transparently, making it easier to fund and implement peatland restoration sustainably. Ultimately, it promotes effective, measurable actions to preserve these vital ecosystems for climate, nature, and future generations.
