5 February 2025 08:30 to 09:30 | Seminar Rewetting is promoted as an important climate and environmental measure in many policy contexts. The Swedish government has rewetting as one of their focus in climate policy, and the EU's recently adopted Nature Restoration Law sets binding requirements for rewetting in the agricultural landscape. In order to implement such a measure in practice, private la
