4 Cloud free image of the Congo Basin assembled from daily images from the European VGT sensor on the SPOT satellite, covering 2 million km2 Background image VGT 2000 Mosaic (image source JRC, data source CNES ) Image courtesy of Phillippe Mayaux, JRC

5 Background image MODIS 10 th January 2005 (source NASA ) Image courtesy of Phillippe Mayaux, JRC 250 meter resolution image from the MODIS sensor on the US Terra satellite. with clear signs of forest clearance and degradation around towns such as Ouesso on the Sangha river and Mbandaka on the Congo River.

6 10 metre resolution image from the European SPOT satellite. Both abandoned logging roads (orange) and new logging roads (blue) can be accurately mapped. Background image SPOT HRV 10 m March 2005 (image source JRC, data source CNES ) Image courtesy of Phillippe Mayaux, JRC

7 2.5 meter resolution from the SPOT satellite. Can measure the width of logging roads, and extraction of individual trees (the white holes in the grey intact forest canopy). Background image SPOT HRV 2.5 m January 2005 (image source JRC, data source CNES ) Image courtesy of Phillippe Mayaux, JRC

8 Same place 2 months later. By comparing with earlier image, we can determine location and rate of timber extraction, and check this against volumes reported by the logging company.

9 Google s Project Sunroof used imagery from Google Maps, Google Earth, 3D modeling and machine learning to analyze space available for solar panels on 60 million buildings in the USA

10 REMOTE SENSING CLOUD COMPUTING BIG DATA When trees fall in the Amazon, they show up as a pink deforestation alert on Global Forest Watch. Here, a new logging road punches into a national park buffer zone in Peru.

13 Deforestation-free Supply Chains Now up to 415 companies and 701 commitments Yet, less than half of the companies have time-bound actionable plans.

14 1 Eliminating illegality from supply chains 2 Growing and strengthening palm oil certification 3 Scaling up pilot programmes of sustainable intensification of cattle grazing 4 Sustainably increasing smallholder yields in palm oil and cocoa 5 Achieving sustainable soy production 6 Accelerating the implementation of jurisdictional programmes 7 Addressing land conflicts, tenure security and land rights 8 Mobilizing demand for deforestation-free commodities in emerging markets 9 Redirecting finance towards deforestation-free supply chains 10 Improving the quality and availability of deforestation and supply chain data

15 The Accountability Framework Setting and implementing effective commitments on deforestation, land conversion, and human rights in responsible supply chains Making sense of complexity but allowing adaptation to different places and sectors Best practice guidance on implementing deforestation-free commitments Harmonising monitoring, verification and reporting

21 Towards forest quality monitoring Sustainable Forestry Biodiversity data mining sound recordings and camera traps to measure biodiversity Harvest yield of timber and NTFPs. Carbon biomass assessed by satellite Social Values locally-determined cultural and recreational values Social cohesion governance index based on surveys of key stakeholder groups social cohesion social values year 1 year x biodiversity harvest carbon

22 Forest degradation year 1 year x biodiversity Restoration of degraded area year 1 year x biodiversity social cohesion harvest social cohesion harvest social values carbon social values carbon
