Climate benefits of wetland restoration are constrained by slow vegetation recovery

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Wetland restoration is widely used to enhance ecosystem resilience, biodiversity, and climate mitigation. However, restoring hydrology may not lead to rapid vegetation establishment or reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in severely degraded wetlands.

The EU Nature Restoration Law: a policy framed by instrumental and intrinsic values

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Social‐ecological restoration has seen increasing recognition in global policy agendas to address interlinked biodiversity, climate, and broader social‐ecological crises. Within this global momentum, the European Union has adopted the Nature Restoration Law (NRL) which is set to shape ecological restoration as an EU priority and ...

Prompt active restoration of peatlands substantially reduces climate impact

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
Restoration of peatlands after peat extraction could be a benefit to the climate system. However a multi-year ecosystem-scale assessment of net carbon (C) sequestration is needed.

Global patterns in multi‐realm and multi‐habitat ecological restoration: implications for research, practice, and monitoring

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Ecological restoration projects are rapidly expanding in size, complexity, and frequency globally, driven by international agreements and an increased recognition of the efficacy of actions for biodiversity. Upscaling restoration will increasingly necessitate the restoration of multiple physically or functionally connected ...

Peatland restoration is anticipated to provide climate change mitigation over all time-scales: a UK case-study

Environmental Research Communications
Peatlands provide one of the largest terrestrial carbon stocks in the UK, but a large proportion of peatlands have been drained for peat extraction, agriculture and other uses, turning them into a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions ...

Livelihood‐oriented interventions and gender considerations of 25 years of social‐ecological peatland restoration in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction We examined how tropical peatland restoration initiatives have evolved over 25 years, particularly in their approach to livelihood contributions and women's participation. Objectives Using the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework (SLF), we analyze the peatland‐restoration initiatives based on project documents, examining their short‐

A “Conveyor Belt” From International Standards to Domestic Regulation? Evidence From the International Political Economy of Net Zero Governance

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT When and how do international standards influence domestic policies? The literature identifies a range of ways international standards may relate to domestic regulations—including by exporting, substituting, supplanting, or bolstering national rules—creating theoretical ambiguity.

The Politics of Policy Change in the European Union's Nature Restoration Regulation: An Integrative Approach

Review of Policy Research, Volume 43, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The EU policy framework for nature restoration has undergone a significant change with the adoption of the Nature Restoration Regulation. Since 2022, the EU has developed a new comprehensive and continent‐wide legislation to restore degraded ecosystems and halt biodiversity loss, which came into force in August 2024 and is an integral part of ...
