Water Connections: from Source to Sea
30 September – 2 October 2025
Derry, Londonderry, Northern Ireland
The IUCN UK annual conference series provides a valuable convening function for the UK peatland community to share knowledge, enthusiasm and experience and seek solutions to the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss. They bring together everyone with an interest in these unique and precious habitats, from land managers, policy makers and businesses to restoration practitioners, creatives and scientists.
The 2025 conference is being delivered as part of Northern Ireland Environment Link annual Environment Week, which has a peatland focus this year. This is an exciting time for peatlands in Northern Ireland, with progress now being made towards a national Peatland Strategy, the first Peatland Code projects now registered, and restoration starting to upscale.
