WEBINAR - Open and Transparent Forest Data: Innovation and Technology for Climate Action

A key pillar of the Paris Agreement is the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF), which aims to raise ambitions for climate action through transparent country reporting. The development of National Forest Monitoring Systems with open and transparent data can enable action for forest and climate. In light of the climate emergency, it is time to scale up efforts toward accurate, open and transparent forest data, to catalyze higher ambitions under the Paris Agreement.

The FAO webinar “Open and Transparent Forest data: Innovation and Technology for Climate Action” will highlight global and national efforts in the field of forest monitoring that support the implementation of the ETF under the Paris Agreement.

Specifically, the webinar aims to:   

  • present the “Building global capacity to increase transparency in the forest sector" (CBIT-Forest)” project and its contribution to the ETF under the Paris Agreement;
  • present latest digital data sources and related dissemination innovations contributing to the Paris Agreement by promoting transparency and open data, and
  • share experience from Bangladesh on data management and transparency.        



The webinar will take place on Wednesday 11 November 2020, 14:30 – 16:00 CEST.
