  1. Seeking Balance in the Land-use Marketplace Alan Belward www.jrc.ec.europa.eu IGARSS 2012, Munich

  2. +135 Clementine Earth Mosaic NASA, Alan Belward after Arend Van Dam

  3. CBD UNFCCC The future we want • Enhance sustainable agriculture, improve food security, conserve resources, biodiversity and ecosystems and enhance resilience to climate change and natural disasters • Recognizes the importance of space-technology-based data, in situ monitoring and reliable geospatial information for sustainable development policymaking, programming and project operations • Promotes the science-policy interface through inclusive, evidence-based and transparent scientific assessments, as well as access to reliable, relevant and timely data UNCCD A/CONF.216/L.1 pp 53 12-38164* (E) 220612

  4. Launches per year of pan/vis/nir/swir sensors carried on polar orbiters 1972 1982 1992 2002 2012

  5. Competition for Land Environmental Pressures Economic Pressures Societal Pressures

  6. Food, Fuel, or Fibre ? The Land-use Marketplace Carbon Trading Biodiversity Offsets

  7. OFAC; on-line for forest management, carbon, biodiversity, cover change Interactive mapping, reference reports, data management/analysis, capacity-building Logging Concession Protected Area http://www.observatoire-comifac.net/

  8. Risk/value for African Protected Areas (blue dots = EU funded PA) Monitoring Scenarios Forecasts Provide Web Processing Services Threat Create new information for Protected Area management Biodiversity Integrate datasets Make datasets Interoperable Provide Web Services, but share their input/output Protected Areas (PA) Species Ecosystems Collect data Update data Build databases Source, Gregoire Dubois JRC

  10. Vegetation condition and crop yield Soil type and condition Status of Protected areas Data for food security analysis, crop monitoring, land degradation, surface water monitoring, grassland condition, forest condition, fire mapping… Initially research projects, now support to development projects (PUMA, AMESD, MESA, in total 68 MEUR from European Development Fund) Satellite communications and IT infrastructure, with applications Land cover Land use

  11. MSG HotBird-6 AtlanticBird-3 Vegetation condition and crop yield Soil type and condition 2 mBit/s C-band 4 mBit/s Ku-band Status of Protected areas Technical advice for contractual matters Development of processing chains for analysis and reporting Thematic analysis concerning long-term resource management Capacity-building Land cover Land use Direct information feed to Africa EUMETCast Africa’s Users Usingen Germany Europe’s Users Fucino Italy Africa’s Users Uplink Ku-band to C-band conversion

  12. Objectives • Maximize S2 L8 programme synergy (products, data access) • Ensure both are recognised as key informers of policy (EU and International) • Build land resource management services around these, especially… • Promoting and supporting uptake in Africa

  13. Tentative Plans • S2 simulation from SPOT 4 for land cover / cover change in Tanzania • 1990 – 2000 – 2005 – 2010 – 2015 cover change for Africa • Integrate higher-resolution products into the eStation and subsequent Continental (AUC), Regional (RECs) and national uptake across Africa.
