Professor Valérie Masson-Delmotte:

The second point I wanted to make was on the use of peatland in Ireland. There is a huge potential to restore peatlands for the value of the services they provide like water management and recreational activities. They can also work with sectors that find it hard to decarbonise, like the airline industry, and which work on carbon offset schemes which are often located on the other side of the world and are difficult to supervise. There are opportunities to provide services to companies which need to store carbon, with strong monitoring so that it is verified.
