FCM toolset webinar slides now available
Thank you all for attending the Forestry TEP FCM toolset webinar yesterday! The slides presented in the webinar are now available.
We contribute to climate change mitigation activities with a toolset developed for forest carbon monitoring with high accuracy, reach and frequency
What we do
Forests are essential in maintaining healthy ecosystem interaction and biodiversity on Earth. They are in a key role in the fight against climate change since they can restore increasing carbon stocks. Hence, several national and international initiatives (including the UNFCCC Paris Agreement and the EU LULUCF Regulation) require regular reporting of forest biomass and carbon. Robust, reliable and transparent monitoring approaches of forest biomass and carbon are needed to respond to reporting requirements.
The Forest Carbon Monitoring project developed and implemented a set of tools for reliable and cost-efficient monitoring of forest carbon stock based on satellite remote sensing approaches supported by in-situ datasets.
Accurate
Close integration of field data and remotely sensed data. Statistically sound monitoring methods.
Holistic
Ecosystem process-based carbon modelling integrated into the system, allowing carbon flux modelling and future forecasting.
Scalable
Flexibility towards user requirements ranging from private company carbon balance monitoring to continental level analyses with publicly available datasets.
Why remote monitoring?
Comprehensive
Spatially detailed data from large forest areas — also regions without proper forest inventory data.
Transparent
Openly available satellite datasets used together with published monitoring methods.
Detailed
Enabling high resolution mapping and monitoring of global forests.
Cost-effective
Reaching global scale with frequent data acquisition and long-term standardized systems at low cost.

Policy change – the needs for forest carbon monitoring remain
Last year has seen major shifts in EU policy-making processes, most notably the withdrawal of the legislative proposal for an EU Forest Monitoring Regulation in October 2025. Simultaneously, debates and delays surrounding the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) have created some level of uncertainty concerning the future of this policy. Meanwhile […]
