- Tue 18:57Peatland priorities – A study published in Communications Earth & Environment on Tuesday identified key research gaps needed to safeguard peatlands as a major global carbon store under mounting environmental pressure. The authors outlined 50 priority research questions based on input from 467 experts across 54 countries, providing a coordinated agenda for the next decade. Peatlands cover just 3-4% of land yet storing around one-third of global soil carbon, yet they continue to degrade. The study highlighted urgent needs spanning carbon dynamics, climate impacts, restoration, and policy.

Fu said further agreements with other ASEAN states are being pursued, alongside a second tender covering both technology-based and nature-based credits.
