Project description
Advancing knowledge on wetland restoration for more efficient carbon mitigation
Wetlands have enormous potential for carbon sequestration and adaptation, but gaps in knowledge limit their efficient use and options in the context of land use, land-use change and forestry. The EU-funded project ALFAwetlands aims to help expand the geospatial knowledge base for these ecosystems. Its co-creation approach envisions enabling the support of more inclusive and community-based approaches to restoring wetlands. Experimental data and living labs will be leveraged to integrate interdisciplinary and multi-actor research on associated ecological, environmental, social and economic issues. ALFAwetlands will assess the overall societal and well-being impacts of wetland restoration at local, national and EU levels.
