%X Abstract: The International Peat Congress (IPC) has a long history. It is the prime scientific event of the International Peatland Society (IPS) and has been organized every fourth year since the first meeting in Ireland in 1954. The 15th IPC was different from all the previous Congresses. For the first time the IPC was organized in Tropical Asia – in Kuching, Malaysia. The Congress was a platform for highlighting the characteristics, importance and problems of tropical peatlands. In addition the large role of Asia as a market area in international trade became clear.
