Rewetting low-lying organic soils to create a green circular corridor around the city of Aarhus, Denmark

Around the city of Aarhus, approximately 350 hectares of low-lying organic soils are being transformed into wetlands. They connect natural habitats and create green circular corridor that link several sites. This initiative enhances biodiversity, carbon capture, and groundwater recharge while offering new recreational spaces for citizens.

This showcase also investigates how municipal governance and financing can support NBS implementation, providing a replicable model for integrating wetland restoration into local land management and climate adaptation strategies.
