Forests 2020 ● A £14.2 million investment by UK Space Agency IPP Programme to advance forest monitoring capabilities in 6 countries ● UK investment matched by partners ● Broad definition of forest monitoring systems, priorities set by partners ● UK experts (Universities of Edinburgh, Leicester, Carbomap, Ecometrica)
Forests 2020 Approach
New methods of Change Mapping Risks and
Detection Opportunities
Testing in Improved map
Window Areas products
Information to national, Scaling-up and Production

Inception Testing Phase Scale up & Implementation Sustainable Adoption
Defining priorities, window Developing and testing Roll out improved mapping Project end; products, tools and
areas, identify target improved products in agreed products and tools to end users, methods are embedded in
stakeholders for improved “window areas” and continue improving national / institutional systems

Pathways to adoption: Sustainability Models
1) Embedding open source innovations in national systems
We are working with government and research partners to ensure that Forests 2020
innovations are embedded into national and state forest monitoring systems so that
they continue to have impact after the project through capacity building programmes
PYEO S2 processing &
Machine Learning
Restoration Potential
Mapping and Fire Risk
Hectares Indicator
Pathways to adoption: Sustainability Models
2) Digital Infrastructure: EO Lab network
Establishing proprietary digital infrastructure, the EO Lab, in key institutions to support
curation and dissemination of new data products to end users
EO Lab Key features:
● Performance and stability ● Ability to handle complex, large, time-
● Superior interface for non GIS experts series datasets
● Streamlined ingestion of EO data ● Built-in permissions system
● Powerful querying capability ● Support by people who understand the
● Superior version control data and information being presented
● Competitive, transparent pricing
Pathways to adoption: Sustainability Models 3) Commercial forest monitoring services: zero deforestation commodities ● Low marginal cost, scalable information infrastructure ● Aggregate 100’s or 1000’s of suppliers within region, country or world ● Collaborate with national agencies to support high quality mapping ● Use nationally approved, region-specific basemaps and definitions ● Semi-automated processing with expert checks ● Triangulation of EO data with geographical, social and economic risk factors to provide an holistic picture of deforestation and the risk of forest loss and degradation within and around the portfolio
F2020: Key Highlights to date
El Colegio de la Frontera Sur (ECOSUR), a research institute that is based in South Mexico, have
committed to maintaining an EO Lab license beyond 2020. By developing useful forest monitoring
applications for the South of Mexico, state level government organisations and municipalities can use
these outputs to plan and evaluate the impact of public policies in the region on the forests.
“Our EO lab applications have had more than
1,000 views, which is the second highest globally
after the UK. In 2018 we renewed our ECOSUR
EO lab license as we see the value of the platform
for disseminating geographical information in the
state to municipalities, government agencies,
academic institutions and NGOs for decision-
making.”
-Dr. Miguel Castillo, head of the Geographical and
Statistical Information Laboratory of ECOSUR.
F2020: Key Highlights to date
A key requirement for the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF) in Indonesia was to move from a manual to (semi-)
automated processing for land cover and forest cover mapping. IPB University have been working with University of
Leicester to develop new processing chains for Landsat and Sentinel 2 imagery.
Methods co-developed by IPB are then transferred to the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN), who have
the legal mandate to provide data to MoEF. MoEF then produce official land cover and land use change maps, with
improved methods that have been transferred via capacity building in F2020.
Once tested, new processing chains and LAPAN processes Landsat and S2 MoEF performs classification and
algorithms are transferred from IPB to LAPAN and provides data to MoEF disseminated national datasets by
official channelsF2020: Key Highlights to date
Public-private partnerships to support zero-deforestation
commodities
In Ghana, F2020 has been supporting local partners KNUST and
the Forestry Commission to develop mapping of the cocoa
growing region - traditionally challenging due to the shade loving
Cocoa
nature of the crop. Timings is crucial as the cocoa industry and Ecometrica
Companies
Government of Ghana have signed up to the Cocoa and Forests
Initiative (CFI).
The Ghana Forestry Commission is using the EO Lab platform to
disseminate official, national data sets that can be used by
National
multiple stakeholders. Ecometrica is supplying the cocoa industry
Mapping
additional monitoring services on a per farm basis, and using the
Agency
revenue to write off the costs of the platform license to the
Forestry Commission, and feeding revenue back to them to
cover national mapping efforts.F2020 & GFOI A number of methods and processed as part of F2020 can be shared as best practice among GFOI community: - EO Lab - Hectares Indicator - UoL PYEO Sentinel 2 processing - UoE Degradation Mapping - Lessons learned: Open source vs Commercial services
Beyond 2020: A Resilience Constellation
A >£300m, 10 year (2020-2030) collaboration between >6 countries to build
an EO constellation, data infrastructure and downstream applications to
support climate change resilience.
● Building on established, international collaborations through programmes like
IPP
● Leveraging and strengthening UK’s New Space economy - agile development of
small satellites servicing specific applications
● Complementing existing programmes and assets, both publicly funded (e.g.
ESA Copernicus) and commercial offerings (e.g. Planet, Earth-i)
● Co-funding model - UK, International partners and private investmentOutputs The information products arising from the programme will be used for a range of climate change resilience, environmental MRV and natural resource management decision making. • GHG reporting for LULUCF and REDD+ • Flood and drought monitoring and risk assessments • Managing impacts of extractive industries • Monitoring sensitive and important ecological areas (coasts, wetlands, peatlands) • Early warning and near real time monitoring of wildfires
Overview of Mission and Service Concepts
Each information service will draw on a combination of Resilience Constellation missions,
plus existing or planned external sources.
