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

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

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

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
#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
