Through these activities, Peatland Justice aims to support a just transition from unsustainable peat products being traded within the EU and contribute to functioning and long-lasting peatland financing systems that serve both peatlands and local communities. Peatland injustices are not restricted to trade and finance. In the future, we wish to expand this campaign to the areas of access to land, knowledge, health, and housing. We are open to collaborators on these themes!

Our participatory research includes focus groups, interviews and workshops. Our findings will be transformed and communicated through an online and physical deep map of European trade networks as well as various creative communication means. We are setting our sights on retailers as the primary campaign target, calling on them to phase out their peat-packed potting soil and only sell peat-free alternatives. This should set a wide-spread increase in use of peat-free soils into action. Lastly, we will advocate for our proposed framework for justice in trade and finance of peatlands in Europe at national and EU level.
