IABG MBH (DE)

Summary

The SDG Pathfinder project – EO for Sustainable Forest Management will develop and showcase in partnership with the custodian agency FAO innovative EO approaches to produce indicators on the sustainable management of natural, semi-natural and planted forests. It will benefit from improved data availability to support the SDG 15 Life on Land with the SDG Target indicators 15.1.1 and 15.2.1 to monitor changes in global forest and make them available to a wide community.
The project will propose SDG sub-indicators on forest area net change, Above Ground Biomass, Forest Protected Areas, and Forest Management. Additional indicators and metrices are planned for forest characterisation, condition monitoring, homogeneity, change in erosion/landslide risk and a landscape metrics.
