PRINCESS evaluates how rewetting peatlands can meet EU goals like biodiversity restoration, climate change mitigation, clean water, and sustainable income for farmers by testing land use practices and informing sustainable peatland policy through science and stakeholder engagement.

In Tides of Change, the method from PRINCESS’s peatland rewetting in nitrogen-contaminated environments is shown being used by Kaija to reduce pollution and Vibrio bloom within the ocean. She is using the peatland’s capabilities for cleaning water as an example of a nature-based solution (NbS) to restore the ocean around her homeland.
More scientific information for agricultural land use policies for peatlands in the EU to evaluate which land use options after peatland rewetting is best. This knowledge supports key policy objectives such as healthy ecosystems, climate change mitigation, and adaptation, clean water, fair income to farmers, or, taken together, a greener and more sustainable Europe.
