2. The food challenge

3. Changes in dietary patterns: Meat consumption FAOSTAT 2007

4. The food challenge: technology gaps

5. Forests and food production: potential conflicts

6. Medium-resolution (5-50 m) earth observation satellites data are global public goods Earth observation satellites are essential for measuring land change

7. Full and open access to space-based information is indispensable for global sustainable development

10. “A few satellites can cover the entire globe, but there needs to be a system in place to ensure their images are readily available to everyone who needs them. Brazil has set an important precedent by making its Earth-observation data available, and the rest of the world should follow suit.”

11. CBERS@INPE: 1 million images (2004-2009) LANDSAT @USGS: 1 million images (Jan-Aug-2009) GMES Sentinels @ESA-EC: Data will be open access (2011) Open access data policy: a qualified success

12. in November, 2004.... Yearly deforestation rate for 2003-2004: 27,100 km2

13. Public opinion reaction was strong What is the proper scientific reaction?

14. T2 – Loss of smaller trees How does deforestation happen? T1 – Selective logging T3 – Loss >50% of forestT4 – Loss >90% of forest

15. Floresta time dialy deforestation alerts Yearly rates of clear cuts INPE’s Monitoring Systems

16. Daily warnings of newly deforested large areas Real-time Deforestation Monitoring

17. Policing actions: illegal wood seizure 50% of operations in 2% of the area

18. Full data access = essential tool for Reducing deforestation in Amazonia

19. “By 2020, Brazil will reduce deforestation by 80% relative to 2005.” (pres. Lula in Copenhagen COP-15)

20. Market impact of deforestation reduction in Brazil EU-15 reduction 2005-2020 20% of 1990 levels Avoided def Brazil 2005-2020 From 2005 to 2020, avoided deforestation by Brazil would be 4/5 of the total proposed EU-15 cuts 7,7 Gt CO2eq 6,1 Gt CO2eq

21. Jan-April/2011: 126% increase Keep watching!

29. Environmental issues are best handled with participation of all citizens. Each individual shall have appropriate access to information concerning the environment. RIO-92 Declaration – principle #10

30. RIO + 20: bulding on principles from RIO-92 We need a new convention on the public availability of environmental information
