2/3 I’ll be particularly engaged in the session on Knowledge Exchange on #Forest Monitoring for Transparent Commodity #ValueChains, such as #EUDR. This discussion aligns closely with my work on leveraging #remotesensing to enhance transparency and accountability in commodity supply chains.

Most recently I used it in our AGU flyer for session B002! Our poster session will be held in the am on Wed, Dec 11 and the oral session will be in the pm that same day!

A poster flyer with fire across top as border.
Title of session “B002
Advancements in Wildland Fire Management and Engagement: Integrating Earth Observation Technologies and Open Collaborative Development”

and abstract is “Wildland fires pose significant challenges to communities, ecosystems, and economies worldwide. Balancing their negative impacts with their positive benefits requires innovative approaches that leverage cutting-edge technologies while fostering collaboration among diverse stakeholders. This session proposes a comprehensive exploration of advancements in wildland fire management, monitoring, and modeling by integrating Earth observation technologies and collaborative development efforts. We will highlight innovative approaches that foster cross-boundary, multi-jurisdictional collaborations among tribal, local, federal, and international partners. For example, efforts like Canada’s WildFireSat mission, NASA FireSense, the Pyregence Consortium, and the internationally funded GOFC-GOLD Fire Mapping and Monitoring Implementation Team are creating transformative wildland fire science, data products, and tools built on relationships and knowledge exchange. By bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise, we aim to advance the science and practice of wildland fire management while enhancing the resilience of communities and ecosystems in the face of increasing wildfire risk and lengthening fire seasons.

Conveners:
Jacquelyn K. Shuman (Primary) NASA Ames Research Center
Morgan A. Crowley Natural Resources Canada
Joanne Hall University of Maryland College Park
David Saah University of San Francisco”

5/5 This article, published by GIZ, explores #forest monitoring solutions shaped by EUDR compliance to foster a shared understanding among stakeholders such as #supplychain partners and service providers. It also offers valuable insights for regulators reviewing due diligence statements.

4/5 In light of this, I would like to highlight an excellent publication in which we participated, brought to you by DIASCA (Digital Integration of Agricultural Supply Chains Alliance). The report examines the technological challenges and existing solutions for #LkSG, #EUDR, and #CSDDD.

3/5 Furthermore, many companies already claim—through voluntary #ESG agreements or reports—that they monitor and track their supply chains. This potential postponement is undoubtedly a green light for yet another year of #deforestation.

Dr. Flávia Mendes🌳🛰️ @flaviamendes.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

2/5 It’s worth noting that the European Commission first signaled its intention to regulate #deforestation linked products back in 2019. Yes, 2019! Now, in 2024, operators and traders have had several years to adapt to this regulation.

Dr. Flávia Mendes🌳🛰️ @flaviamendes.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

1/5 After all this debate over the European Commission's proposal to delay the EU Deforestation Regulation (#EUDR), I find myself still reading through various reactions from small producers, large agribusiness companies, and governments. www.sustainable-supply-chains.org/fileadmin/IN...

3/3 HR imagery provides the detail needed to support accurate #mapping of commodity, helping us distinguish between actual natural forest and tree-crop #commodities like coffee. By combining #multiple datasets, rather than relying on a single source, we improve accuracy.

2/3 The paper emphasizes that in addition to #remotesensing monitoring, supply chain transparency and #traceability are key to preventing deforestation-linked products from reaching the market.

This fire season has been record breaking in Canada. 🔥🌲🛰️ Here’s a Q&A I did with Vox last month about the wildfires (at that time), air quality, smoke, and the future: www.vox.com/climate/2023/6/8/237539…

The future of Canada’s wildfires, explained by a Canadian fire scientist

The smoke is clearing from New York and other East Coast cities, but Canada’s wildfires are set to get worse.
