#ScotClimateWeek is back! This year its mission is clear – to get Scotland talking.

Why not start your #climateconversations with your friends, family & colleagues?

Just one conversation could create a ripple effect of positive actions that could help #makeadifference.

Global wetlands are disappearing 3X faster than forests, source: @RamsarConv. That's why we are restoring precious peatlands, to redress the balance of nature & capture carbon. On #WorldWetlandsDay here's our Western Isles project👇 👀 #ActForWetlands @PeatlandACTION @nature_scot

[Scottish Water @scottish_water]

Today is #WorldWetlandsDay! Peatland is an important global carbon sink, vital for the fragile balance of nature. We're helping repair eroded peatland across Scotland, restoring peatbogs which capture & store carbon. See how we do it #ActForWetlands @PeatlandACTION @nature_scot

[Peatland ACTION @PeatlandACTION]

What better than to start this New Year with a #PeatlandPositive story 💚

We have cut our carbon emissions 50% in 15 years - but we’re doing more to hit #NetZero by 2040. #COP26 👇💦🌏🌳

Blog by @NatureScot's Claudia Rowse talks about peatland restoration – on the front line of #ClimateAction - & the need for a step-change in the development of skills across #nature-based sectors including #PeatlandRestoration

The @scottish_water SLM Team & @PeatlandACTION have been working on two #peatlandrestoration sites on Lewis to combat climate change and protect drinking water quality����#NetZero #COP26

[Scottish Water @scottish_water]

#Peatlands are one of the most effective tools we have to combat #climatechange.

We're working with @peatlandaction & local communities on #Lewis to restore peatlands at 2 sites, ensuring they continue to act as vital carbon storage. #NetZero #COP26

SIX days to #COP26Glasgow.💚🌍

Scotland has some of the world’s deepest peat deposits – our @PeatlandACTION project is working to restore damaged peatlands to keep carbon locked in and increase the amount they can store.
