Project “Restoring Peatlands in Russia — for fire prevention and climate change mitigation” conducts training "Peatland’s restoration and voluntary carbon market".  The training will discuss general principles and practicalities of integrating wetland restoration projects into the voluntary carbon market system.

The event is designed for two target audiences: specialists in ecological restoration of peatlands and representatives of business structures for whom projects can be carbon offsets or used for reporting in sustainable development.

The training will be held online on June 4 from 9:00 to 12:00  (MSK).
