The 11th IUCN UK Peatland Programme conference - ‘Peatlands in Partnership: a road to recovery' took place as a virtual event in September over four days and attracted over 470 delegates from across the globe. This year's theme brought a focus on peatlands and the people behind them, exploring peatland conversation, restoration and sustainable management in action as well as the partnerships, evidence, policy and practice driving progress towards the UK Peatland Strategy goals.
