GEO Forest Carbon -Ongoing Activities and Work Plan- Alex Held (CSIRO), CEOS-Plenary, Lucca, Italy

The GEO FCT Task a framework for coordination: governments, space and forest agencies, research scientists, intergovernmental and international organisations national demonstrators showing the elements of a global system of systems institutional arrangements for secure data access and continuity – time series of optical and SAR satellite mid-resolution images (<30m) for semi-annual ‘wall-to-wall’ full country coverage a focused R&D program supporting integration with modelling and forest measurement (satellite; in-situ), 2

Current FCT Satellite Data Processing Approach ND Government Agencies Responsible for Forest Mapping CEOS Agencies committing to FCT-specified data acquisition Optical/SAR Mid-resolution, wall-to-wall data for each ND GEO FCT Technical Product Development Team ND Government Agencies Responsible for MRV Reporting to UNFCCC GEO FCT Countries

FCT Achievements Data and products produced by ND’s are starting to become available, and the proof of concept for global wall-to-wall monitoring is being demonstrated. – e.g. more than 116,000 optical and SAR images delivered by CEOS Agencies since Significant progress towards achieving the 4 FCT objectives: – Methodology guidance documents being further developed – Closer coordination with CEOS WGCV and GEO QA4EO Initiative – GEO FCT and the US ‘SilvaCarbon’ program strengthening links to FCT ND’s in the Americas (Mexico, Peru, Colombia) with dedicated technical workshops and expert advice. establish a framework for coordination, cooperate with a number of national demonstrators, provide a better access to data, and work on methods and protocols for ensuring comparability and interoperability Systematic observations will support governments in obtaining analyses and reporting information. 6

FCT Work Plan National Demonstrator ‘Summit’ – Feb – Tanzania Science Data Summit – Feb – Tanzania – Finalise FCT R&D Tasks & Planning Document Increased satellite data delivery to ND government agencies responsible for establishment of MRVs. Continue with successful model of technical training workshops – Americas, and extend to Africa and Asia Finalising FCT Guidance Documents Increased engagement between ND national governments and FCT Technical team (eg PD-team)

Forest Carbon Tracking Goals Demonstrate that coordinated Earth Observations, complimented and validated by in situ measurements and properly linked to forest models can provide the basis for reliable, accurate, consistent and continuous information services to support forest carbon Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV), leading to eventual establishment of a network of national forest carbon monitoring systems Develop methods and protocols for comparability, interoperability in satellite observations and integration with ground measurements. Assist countries develop their own national forest and carbon monitoring systems.

FCT Satellite-Derived Products Horizon-1: 1a – Forest/Non-Forest coverage maps (ultimately annually wall-to-wall national coverage) 1b. - Forest change maps (direct/indirect derivative of dual- or multi-year Horizon 1a products or input data) 1c – Land-use map (with six broad land use categories - forest land, cropland, grazing land, wetlands, settlements, other land)) (for use in estimation of area change and land-use conversion as per IPCC GPG) 1d. – Land-use change and conversions (direct/indirect derivative of Horizon-1c products or input data) Horizon-2: 2a - Forest Degradation Information Products (still TBD); might include: – Forest cover/density change and trends – High-resolution forest change, structure or physiology products (from satellite, airborne systems – eg. lidar, X-band SAR, imaging spectrometers) 2b - Forest-type: Softwood, hardwood, native, primary, secondary 2c - Sparse woody perennial cover

Growing FCT the Network Growth will require increased efforts in: ND Country Coordination & databases, to ensure consistency Data Processing: Load-balancing of in-country vs. ‘regional processing centres’, to cope with processing needs/capacity/product consistency Coordinated Capacity- Building program – consistency across NDs Many REDD+ countries outside the tropics, incl. temperate & boreal forests 2011 post-Kyoto treaty; REDD+, etc. 2012
