Diverse Knowledges and Sensing Practices in Peatlands for Inclusive Climate Futures
PEATSENSE will devise and test a ground-breaking approach to decision-making in peatland sites designated priority areas in recent climate assessments, redefining the meaning and practices of inclusion for future global climate mitigation. The project is contextualised by an important ecological challenge: we now know that although peatlands cover only 3-4% of the earth’s surface, they hold 33% of its carbon reserves. Following paradigm-shifting findings in biophysical research on the role of peatlands in the global carbon cycle, a suite of policy pathways and governance initiatives have been proposed to incentivise and monitor peatland conservation. However, many of the proposed…
