  Author(s): Hans Joosten
  
  This report presents the first overview ever of peatland carbon data for all countries and regions of the world. This overview has been produced to facilitate the UNFCCC climate negotiations in response to a call by countries for emission data caused by the Land Use Change and Forestry sector. For every country/area information is given on extent and status of peatlands, volume of the peat resource and on CO2 emissions from different types of land use, both for the year 1990 as well as for the year 2008.
