#PeatConf24

This workshop starts with setting the scene on best practice in community engagement and benefit sharing and then small groups work on the following questions:
How do we define a community? Communities in the UK are organised in different ways, which has changed over time, creating challenges for benefit sharing.
How do we manage challenges around sharing revenue and the potential mismatch between expectations and reality? How do we quantify non-financial benefits and how can these be shared?
​​​​​​Chaired by Renée Kerkvliet-Hermans, IUCN UK Peatland Programme
