Earth Observation for Sustainable Development (EO4SD) – Forest Management

Earth Observation for Sustainable Development (EO4SD) is a European Space Agency (ESA) initiative which aims to support International Finance Institutions and their Client States to harness the benefits of EO in their development operations at national and international level. The final thematic cluster of this initiative is dedicated to Forest Management and complements a set of seven other thematic areas already addressed under the EO4SD initiative.

The EO4SD-Forest Management Cluster has the overall objective of demonstrating the utility and benefits of mainstreaming Satellite Earth Observation (EO)-based products and services for improved Forest Management. EO4SD-Forest Management was launched in September 2020 and will be financed by ESA until 2023.
