IPCC have a three year Strategic Business Plan spanning the period from 2022-2024. This document was developed by the Committee of Management of the IPCC as part of their governance of the organisation. IPCC’s mission is to ensure the conservation of a representative sample of the peatlands of Ireland for future generations to enjoy. Our Strategic Business Plan will help us to achieve this.
The aims of the 2022-2024 IPCC Strategic Business Plan are to:
- set out our vision and mission
- set out the long term direction of the IPCC
- provide a framework for decision making
- provide a basis for financial governance
- provide a framework for operational planning
- help explain our role to others
The Strategic Business Plan focuses on 7 key activities of the IPCC which are needed to achieve our goal and lists the targets we hope to achieve by 2024. A brief description of each one is given below.
Peatland Sites including sites owned and managed by the IPCC in addition to the 1200 sites of conservation importance listed in our Peatland Conservation Action Plan
