Roles & Responsibilities in GFOI Space Data Services Delivery

Explore the stakeholders, roles, responsibilities, and deliverables in the Global Forest Observations Initiative (GFOI) operational scenario for space data services. Understand the GFOI country experience and the essential role of stakeholders in ensuring successful data delivery. This session provides insights into how different organizations collaborate to support national forest monitoring and MRV efforts.

  1. Session 4 ELEMENT 2: Space Data Services and National Data Acquisitions S Ward

  2. Session 4 • GFOI Operational Scenario • Who are the stakeholders for the Space Data Services? • What are their roles and responsibilities? • How will deliverables be achieved? • Element 2 • Where are we on underlying programmes? • Ensuring linkage between space data & MGD • Preparing for Day 2

  3. GFOI Operational Scenario Delivery of the GFOI Space Data Services S Ward

  4. Reality check ….overall phasing of CEOS strategy

  5. Operational Scenario for Space Data Services • Who are the stakeholders for the Space Data Services? • What are their roles/responsibilities/scope? • How will deliverables be achieved? • What is the GFOI country experience? • Includes procedure for non-core data stream requests

  6. Stakeholders • GFOI: • Leads • Project Office • SDCG/CEOS • Supply: • Core data stream agencies • Contributing data stream agencies • Commercial data suppliers • Application: • FAO/UN-REDD • World Bank • Specific donor programmes – eg SilvaCarbon, Norway, Australia • National point of contact, MRV agency

  7. GFOI Operational Scenario Roles and Responsibilities of GFOI Space Data Services S Eggleston

  8. UNFCCC decisions on REDD+, reporting and MRV IPCC guidelines on estimating emissions and removals of GHG, Countries: implementation, specifically national forest monitoring and MRV Implementing Programmes (UNREDD and FCPF …) Support to Countries GFOI provide a platform for coordinating observations: provide assistance and guidance on utilising observations Roles & responsibilities

  9. GFOI and Space Data Services GFOI aims to complement existing support to countries by coordinating with FAO, World Bank and others to ensure the the sustained availability and use of satellite and ground observations Responsibilities for GFOI Space Data Services are spilt amongst: GFOI Project Office SDCG Data Supply Agencies UNREDD and FCPF National GFOI Contacts

  10. Roles & responsibilities: GFOI project office 1st point of contact for governments responsible for establishing relevant points of contact and agencies for aspiring countries. These contacts should be agencies implementing REDD+ (e.g. involved in UNREDD or FCPF) Promotion of GFOI capabilities, deliverables and services Keeping UNREDD,  FAO and World Bank appraised of our country relationships and activities Promoting uptake of the MGD Promoting needed R&D Ensuring linkages between MGD and R&D to the space data services and SDCG Enabling cooperation between GFOI, FAO and WB

  11. Roles & responsibilities: SDCG Educate and inform about details of GFOI space data services Support countries in developing their space data needs assessments and the establishment of requirements Broker connections between countries (via GFOI office) and appropriate data supply agencies Coordinate supply of GFOI space data services Support Norway/FAO data financing mechanism through DMB role and through data assessment support Oversee and report on progress towards the different elements of the space data strategy for GFOI

  12. Roles & responsibilities: Data supply agencies Provision of satellite data Support data financing mechanism as needed through supply of data Execution of some of the GFOI space data services Support to national needs assessments through archive characterisation etc. (as part of GFOI space data services)

  13. Roles & responsibilities: UN-REDD & FCPF In-country support relating to data uptake and use by national forest monitoring and MRV Cooperate with GFOI over capacity building, use of MGD and R&D needs Evaluation support for data financing mechanism Liaison with data supply agencies and SDCG around application of GFOI space data services in country

  14. Roles & responsibilities: National GFOI Contacts Confirmed national responsibility for MRV and forest carbon accounting Provide national needs assessments for GFOI space Data Services, assisted by SDCG Ensure supplied data are needed and used for national forest monitoring and MGD First-line contact for the project office

  15. GFOI Deliverables • MGD • Currently out for review (until 15 September) • Version 1 by January 2014 • … • R&D • Review of R&D needs by November 2013 • Basis for R&D programme • Funding uncertain, GFOI office will promote this to potential funders • Capacity Building • On-going. • Working towards closer collaboration with FAO and World bank (shared schedule etc.)

  16. Historical Coverage Characterisation Ensured Future Acquisitions Core Coverage tracking Ensuring future core data acquisitions (sustainability) Augmenting Core Data Coverage Data Delivery Terrain corrected How to deliver when in-country capacity insufficient? Data Processing Services WELD (2014 onwards)? Norwegian Cloud-Free Mosaic Service? Google Earth Engine? Global Forest Watch 2.0? GFOI Deliverables: Space Data Services

  17. Country experience • Operational scenario must play to strengths and reflect capacities • Stamp-collecting countries by GFOI is not an option • Each country must be well tended and supported on its journey

  18. Procedure for non-core data requests Element 1 is the baseline Data needs assessment support – driven by baseline and core data streams – must be commercially neutral but pragmatic Financing mechanism a major opportunity but some risk

  19. GFOI Space Data Services Element 2 of the CEOS GFOI Strategy S Ward

  20. CEOS Data Strategy for GFOI • Element 1: A baseline, coordinated global data acquisition strategy involving a number of ‘core data streams’ that can be used free-of-charge for GFOI purposes. This will involve systematic and sustained wall-to-wall acquisitions of forested areas globally • Element 2: A coordinated strategy for national data acquisitions • Element 3: Data supply in support of the FCT activities, including in support of: the science studies assisting the development and evolution of the GEO-branded methods and protocol documents for GFOI

  21. Element 2 • Global baseline is a statement of capability • Element 2 requires national needs of individual governments to be explored and coverage to be guaranteed in detail • Take account of readiness and existing activities – strategy may be modified if readiness not confirmed • Engagement of relevant institutions in-country • Establish supply channels and arrangements • Practical data coverage strategy and detailed plan for the immediate year ahead • Identify role for non-core data streams, engage suppliers

  22. Element 2 strategy paper • SIT 28-7: SDCG to develop Element 2 of the CEOS Data Strategy for GFOI and to work drafts with relevant data stream providers to support future endorsement by SIT for implementation [SIT-29, Apr 2014] • SDCG Exec have worked a draft (now v0-3) paper as the basis for characterisation and agreement of Element 2 • Using GFOI Space Data Services (for countries) as preferred terminology

  23. GFOI Space Data Services ™ • Historical coverage characterisation • Ensured future acquisitions service • Core coverage tracking • Ensuring Future Core Data Stream Acquisitions • Augmenting core coverage • Core Data Delivery • Core Data Value-Adding: cloud-free mosaics • Data processing

  24. GFOI Space Data Services – update on contributing programmes • Historical coverage characterisation (NASA SEO) • Ensured future acquisitions service (NASA SEO) • Core coverage tracking • Ensuring Future Core Data Stream Acquisitions • Augmenting core coverage • Core Data Delivery (USGS/ESA/INPE) • Core Data Value-Adding: cloud-free mosaics • WELD (USGS) • Norway (USGS, NSC) • Data processing (all)

  25. GFOI Space Data Services Linkage to GFOI Methods & Guidance and Actions Required

  26. Methods and Guidance Reference (MGR) • For use: • in developing national forest monitoring systems consistent with UNFCCC decisions • In capacity building by the UN and other organisations • to facilitate liaison between relevant agencies.  • Intended to be accessible both to policy and technical audiences.

  27. Methods and Guidance Reference (MGR) • The other main GFOI deliverable besides space data • Should application of the MGR be a (carefully managed) condition of space data supply under the GFOI framework? • We need an integrated approach to delivering these deliverables to GFOI participating countries? • Country engagement strategy should reflect this DISCUSS
