Regenerate Peatlands by codesigning and connecting with local communities
“ Hello, I am a Peatland and you can find me in 180 countries worldwide. I cover around 3% of the planet's surface, but store up to 33% of the world's carbon. I need local communities to care and be aware how to best regenerate me, as I contain remarkable powers, making my health crucial for freshwater security now and in the future.”
Meet Re:Peat Livinglab
RE:PEAT Livinglab aims to regenerate 1 million hectares of peatlands by 2025 by co-designing and connecting with local communities.
Wet crop innovations
The innovation lab works as an online matching system where businesses, researchers & designers can co-design with local communities to unlock new economic structures using wet crops - which benefit the humans as well as the peatland ecosystem itself.
Look inside our wet crop atlas
Wet crops are ecological superstars that preserves the peat soil and holds the carbon in the ground, while also offering economical benefits. The atlas is a global atlas of native wet crops to showcase their ecological & economical benefits in different peatland sites around the world.
This platform is a space to combine forces, share lessons learnt, and inspire each other to regenerate peatlands using wet crops.
Co-creation on the ground
Our Cocreate toolkit is developed for codesigning with local communities on the ground
