AGWA, together with Wetlands International, has published the report with three goals in mind: 1) to illustrate the scientific rationale behind the use of wetlands as a climate mitigation tool; 2) to demonstrate the prevalence and function of wetlands across landscapes and geographies; and 3) to provide a set of clear policy recommendations that will enable Parties to the UNFCCC to conserve, restore and wisely use wetlands by incorporating them into their climate mitigation plans.

Released during UNFCCC COP27 and just ahead of COP 15.2 to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in late 2022, the report presents case study examples, rationale, and recommendations for maximizing synergies between national climate and biodiversity agendas to tackle the triple planetary crisis.
