Synopsis (short abstract) The FRA 2020 Remote Sensing survey is a global collaborative study of the Land use dynamic between the years 2000, 2010 and 2018 focused on forest and forest changes conducted by FAO. Through 34 physical and virtual workshops, more than 800 local experts from 126 countries and territories were trained, evaluated and incorporated into the FRA Remote Sensing focal point network. This unique network of remote sensing specialists collected 400.000 samples between 2019 and 2020, allowing us to derive the most updated, consistent and reliable land use statistics at global, regional and global ecological zone level.

    FAO's Remote Sensing Survey provides novel information on land use change dynamics and deforestation drivers. The survey was conducted as part of the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2020 and in close cooperation with countries. This participatory sample-based exercise produced independent and consistent remote-sensing based estimates on land use change dynamics and their key drivers at global, regional and biome levels.

    The use of satellite imagery can substantially improve knowledge on changes in forest area as a result of deforestation, afforestation and natural forest expansion. This summary outlines some of the initial findings on forest land use and land-use change of a global remote sensing survey carried out to complement the country reporting process as part of the Global Forest Resources Assessments led by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

    The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) provides technical support to countries and stakeholders to plan, implement and monitor land, water and crop resources. The Arab Organization for Agricultural Development (AOAD) provides assistance to 22 Arab countries in coordinating agricultural development, including on strengthening technical capacities on the use of GIS/RS. In this context, the Geospatial Unit of the Land and Water Division at FAO and the AOAD jointly organized a virtual technical workshop from 14 to 16 March 2023 on the use of remote sensing and SEPAL platform in support to sustainable land cover and crop type monitoring.
