Drained peatlands in Germany are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for approximately 7% of the country's total in 2022. To address this, the German Environment Agency is outlining approaches for accurately measuring GHG emissions and reductions from peatlands, especially following rewetting efforts. These methods are crucial for justifying public and private funding for climate protection initiatives aimed at restoring peatlands as carbon sinks.
