Vortrag zu Mooren von Franziska Tanneberger am 29.1.2024
Dear all,
Id like to invite you all to one of the last events of our CAS focus area "Climate Futures: Dialogues across the Science-Society-Policy Interface (https://www.cas.lmu.de/de/programme/cas-schwerpunkte/climate-futures/index.html). With Franziska Tanneberger we have a renowned expert on German and global peatlands visiting us. For details please see below.
Best,
Julia
Peatland Protection and Climate Change
Termin:
Mo.: 29. Januar 2024, 18:30 Uhr
Ort:
Center for Advanced Studies LMU Seestraße 13 80802 München
Referentin: Dr. Franziska Tanneberger
Moderation: Prof. Dr. Julia Pongratz (LMU)
Peatlands cover only 3% of the worlds land surface, but contain 500 gigatonnes of carbon within their peat twice as much as all the bio- mass of the Worlds forests. Peatlands are under threat worldwide: every year we lose another 500,000 ha, which then no longer absorb and fix CO2, but release it. Greenhouse gas emissions from drained peatlands in Germany are about 53 million tons of CO2 equivalents per year, which corresponds to about 7 % of total emissions. To achieve the net-zero CO2 target by 2050 derived from the 1.5 degree target, rewetting of 50,000 ha per year is necessary. The dimension of this transformation is similar to the coal phase-out. At the global level, Germany is seen both as a country of massive peatland destruction and as a country with innovative new approaches in peatland restoration.
