This policy brief builds on new scientific findings and provides a thorough analysis of the sustainability and impacts of peatland drainage. It calls upon government and responsible industry to recognize the threat of peatland subsidence, and plan timely action to phase-out drainage-based land-use from peatlands and consider alternative economic land-use options involving rewetting of peatland areas and planting of species adapted to such wet circumstances.
