Can-Peat: Peatlands as nature-based climate solutions is a five-year project funded in part by the Government of Canada’s Environmental Damages Fund administered by Environment and Climate Change Canada. Led by Maria Strack at the University of Waterloo, the project is working to identify and optimize opportunities to manage peatland ecosystems in Canada as nature-based solutions (NbS) to help protect these ecosystems and achieve Canada’s goal of net-zero emissions.
Can-Peat’s research team consists of researchers from six Canadian universities ((Carleton University, Memorial University, McGill University, Université de Montreal, Université Quebec à Montreal, and University of Alberta), and is supported by partners from the federal government, provincial, territorial, and Indigenous organizations, non-governmental organizations, and industry. This strong multisectoral commitment illustrates the importance of Can-Peat’s goals to a diverse set of partners across Canada.
