Marko Pomerants, IPS President commented on the appointment: "The range of questions related to the use of peatlands is becoming more and more complex. IPS members, as well as the wider community of policymakers, need adequate and high-quality evidence-based responses, and in their absence, to research the problems, so far often themselves. Hiring of an SO is critically needed in the current era."
Susann Warnecke, IPS Secretary General, added that the appointment of Dr Berglund offers IPS the excellent opportunity to move its scientific input from one of voluntary engagement to professional acquisition. "This move will significantly help IPS to stimulate discussions and provide reliable information on responsible peatland management, including peat use, climate impacts and restoration. Data is urgently needed at all levels of decision making, by governments, in companies and in research. We very much look forward to working with Örjan."
Professor Jack Rieley, Chair of the IPS Scientific Advisory Board stated: "Örjan Berglund will greatly strengthen the role of IPS as a world leader in promoting the importance of peatlands and peat in the fields of biodiversity, climate change and restoration globally and regionally. His brief will include peatland conservation, responsible peatland management and wise use of peatlands and peat."
