Over 250,000 individual users from more than 196 countries benefit from FAO’s Open Foris initiative to measure, monitor, and report on forestry progress, take science-based actions, and accelerate forest pathways: Halting deforestation, Restoration, and Sustainable Production.
Open Foris offers various platforms for data gathering, analysis, and reporting, facilitating cost-effective and accurate monitoring of forest cover and other land covers, thus accelerating the development of operational National Forest Monitoring Systems.
Over 14 billion tCO2 of forest emission reductions or enhancements have been reported to UNFCCC.
Technical innovation, demonstrated by FAO's Open Foris and platforms, like Collect Earth and SEPAL, has enabled over 90% of UNFCCC submissions during the last 10 years, enabling accurate forest measurement, monitoring, and reporting. 70% of the countries have received Technical Assistance from FAO.
