The primary legal document for nature protection in Montenegro is the Law on Nature Protection, which outlines the protection and conservation of nature, defines protected area categories, designates responsible institutions, and sets the foundation for management documents. According to Article 58, a Management Plan must be adopted for five years. This plan includes a presentation of natural resources and users, an assessment of the protected area's state, and long-term protection and sustainable development goals. It also involves an analysis of conditions for achieving these goals, measures for protection and management, methods for implementing these measures, and priority activities for preservation and monitoring.
The plan further outlines spatial planning uses, guidelines for scientific research, development priorities considering local population needs, and activities for sustainable resource use and area promotion. It details cooperation methods with local stakeholders, implementation dynamics, required funds, and monitoring indicators for the plan's success, along with other crucial management elements.

The strategy identifies and describes core fields of action for the region Weser-Ems for 2020-2027. It includes strengths and challenges, specific objectives and measures which need to be taken. Specific activities must be based on future goals adapted and developed further. One of the core areas relevant for the topic of the proposal addressed are core area “Nature and Environment”. Environmental care and climate protection as well as strengthening the socio-economic system. Specific goal is the restoration and protection of peatlands.
Further goals address the challenges of climate change, reducing CO2 emissions and protection of natural resources, water, soil and natural areas, strengthening the water and circular economy.

The Mechelen Climate Action Plan is a strategic document that reflects the city of Mechelen's commitment to climate mitigation and adaptation under the European Covenant of Mayors. The plan, prepared with contributions from citizens, city administration and experts, aims to achieve a 40% CO2 reduction by 2030. It includes five action plans: ‘Good Air’, ‘Cool City’, ‘Strong Nature’, ‘Dry Feet’ and ‘Circularity’, which focus on emission reduction, heat resilience, drought impacts, flood prevention and circular economy. The plan is a working document where the impact of each action can be monitored, allowing us to see immediately whether we are ahead or behind schedule.
We continuously fine-tune actions to meet the target.
It aims to address local climate change, by focusing on what residents and businesses can change together and individually. The plan is a dynamic guide to a sustainable future and a climate-neutral city of Mechelen.

The Odense Climate Adaptation Plan is a strategic framework preparing the city for climate-related hazards, primarily linked to water. Denmark faces rising sea and fjord levels, increased rainfall, and higher groundwater tables, threatening urban infrastructure, ecosystems, and economic activities.

The plan maps out measures to manage excess rainwater, mitigate flooding, and enhance resilience to heat and drought. The goal is full climate adaptation by 2050, aligning with Odense’s carbon neutrality target for 2030.
Key features:
- Holistic adaptation: addressing water risks while integrating biodiversity, community engagement, public health, and socio-economic benefits.
-Stakeholder collaboration: working with VandCenter Syd, the local water authority, on water management solutions.
-Nature-based solutions: emphasizing wetland and peatland restoration for flood prevention, carbon storage, and ecosystem benefits.
- Long term implementation: with financing still in progress, actions will be developed and executed gradually.
Through PEAT-EU, Odense aims to enhance policy design, secure funding, and strengthen stakeholder engagement to integrate wetlands and peatlands as key climate adaptation solutions.

The Minister of Environment of Lithuania approved the latest version of the NDRP Management Plan in 2020. It is the main policy instrument guiding the park's sustainable management goals. The objectives of the Management Plan are as follows: 1. determine the principles of territory management and functional zones; 2. provide measures for maintenance and development of landscape management zones and restoration of damaged values; 3. set guidelines and measures for the protection of natural and cultural heritage, recreation, development of residential areas; 4. provide facilities and development guidelines for educational tourism; 5. establish the buffer protection zone regulation. There are several management measures relevant to the Peat-EU project listed in the plan: i) to recultivate the Aukštumala and Kintai peatlands; ii) to prepare a special programme and an action plan for the renaturalization of the Aukštumala peatland, a NATURA 2000 habitat; iii) to enhance the hydraulic connection between the Krokų Lanka lake and Aukštumala; iv) to support the traditional extensive use of biologically valuable grasslands and peatlands, preventing the growth of reeds, bushes or forest. Notably, the most pivotal measure, i.e., the special programme and action plan for renaturalizing Aukštumala, is still absent. Therefore, the Peat-EU project will focus on improving the NDRP Management Plan as a policy instrument by developing the programme and action plan for renaturalizing Aukštumala.

The Alentejo 2030 ROP for the 2021-2027 has two specific objectives that relate to PEAT-EU project:
- RSO1.1 Develop and strengthen research and innovation capabilities and the adoption of advanced technologies. Supporting the following typology of measures:
012. Research and innovation activities in public research centers, educational establishments higher education and competence centers, including networking (industrial research, development experimental and feasibility studies)
026. Support for innovation hubs, including between companies, research organizations and public authorities and business networks, especially for the benefit of SMEs
028. Technology transfer and cooperation between companies, research centers and the education sector higher
029. Research and innovation processes, technology transfer and cooperation between companies, centers research and universities, focused on the low-carbon economy, resilience and adaptation to changes Climate
- RSO2.4 is to promote climate change adaptation, disaster risk prevention and resilience, taking into account ecosystem-based approaches. Supporting the following typology of imeasures:
059. Measures to adapt to climate change and prevent and manage climate-related risks: fires (including awareness, …, disaster management systems and infrastructure, and ecosystem-based approaches)
064. Water management and conservation of water resources (including river basin management, specific measures to adapt to climate change)
