Europe’s wetlands are changing. Longer droughts, more intense rainfall, rising sea levels and shifting seasons are already reshaping these vital ecosystems, creating new challenges for the people working to protect and restore them. As climate impacts become more pronounced, site managers need practical tools to help them adapt while continuing to safeguard biodiversity. Best Practices for Site Managers: Managing wetlands in the face of climate changebrings together the latest scientific knowledge and practical experience to help wetland managers respond to these challenges. Developed through theBiodiversa+ SPEAR projectin collaboration with Wetlands International, the guide offers evidence-based recommendations for understanding climate risks, strengthening ecosystem resilience and adapting management practices. Recognising that every wetland is unique, the publication promotes adaptive management rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. It explores practical approaches that can be tailored to local conditions, supporting informed decision-making in the face of a changing climate. Whether you manage peatlands, marshes, floodplains or coastal wetlands, this guide provides practical insights to help build resilient wetlands for the future.
