Tools and Indicators for Coastal Wetland Restoration

Webinar

Event: Digital Event
Date: 19 February 2025 | 10 AM to 1 PM
Location: online
Speaker: Benedict Bueb

Dr. Eleftheria Kampa

On 19 February 2025, the RESTORE4Cs project will host a webinar titled "Tools and Indicators for Coastal Wetland Restoration to Promote Climate Resilience in Europe."

This event will present and discuss effective tools and metrics to enhance the sustainable management of European coastal wetlands in light of climate change, biodiversity loss and habitat degradation. It will cover strategies for integrating wetland restoration into EU policies, such as the Nature Restoration Regulation and enhancing monitoring efforts to better assess coastal wetlands' role in climate mitigation and biodiversity conservation. This webinar is an excellent opportunity for policymakers, scientists, and environmental experts to collaborate on solutions for sustainable coastal management.

Registration is open, and more details are available on the RESTORE4Cs website.

The RESTORE4Cs project's webinar on 19 February 2025 offers practical insights into tools and indicators for enhancing climate resilience through the restoration of coastal wetlands in Europe and their integration into EU policies.

How Can Coastal Wetlands Help Achieve EU Climate Goals?

A Policy Brief from the RESTORE4Cs project

Year 2024

Project:Horizon Europe

Healthy wetlands are acknowledged for being among the most effective sinks for carbon and for providing other valuable ecosystem services. In contrast, human-impacted wetlands represent a major source of greenhouse gases (GHG). Important research questions on the GHG abatement potential of wetland restoration and on management and restoration actions to maintain and promote the mitigation and adaptation capacity of European wetlands are still to be answered due to major data and knowledge gaps. The RESTORE4Cs project (a 3-year Research and Innovation Action funded by the EU) aims to fill this gap by assessing the role of restoration action in wetlands climate change mitigation capacity and for the provision of a wide range of ecosystem services using an integrative socio-ecological systems approach.
