Wetlands as a natural climate buffer
Wetlands or marshlands are making an important contribution to the fight against climate change in Flanders. Wetlands provide protection from flooding and water scarcity. They also capture carbon and act as a type of green air conditioning in overheated urban areas. Over the past 50 to 60 years, Flanders has lost 75% of its wetlands. In the LIFE project Wetlands4Cities, the Flanders Environment Agency (VMM) is therefore working with 5 project partners to restore and boost the role of wetlands as natural climate buffers.
