In 2005, official discussions initiated at the United Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) established a process to analyze how reducing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) in developing countries could contribute to the ultimate goal of the Convention. A basic underpinning requirement is the systematic long-term observation of forests and other land cover characteristics and changes at national and global levels. In response to this need, the ¿Global Observation of Forest and Land Cover Dynamics¿ (GOFC-GOLD) has established a REDD working group and continuous interaction mechanism with the UNFCCC to provide technical contributions to the negotiations and for national-level capacity development for monitoring emphasizing the important role of satellite remote sensing in this context. Key considerations are given to the approach and experiences of this interaction process of the technical earth observation and carbon monitoring community with the REDD political discussions.
