Forest Data Partnership

A collective approach for ending deforestation and accelerating restoration
The Forest Data Partnership strengthens collaboration and application around global monitoring of commoditydriven deforestation, forest degradation and restoration efforts across the globe. Governments and companies around the world are pledging to help end deforestation and accelerate restoration to avert the worst impacts of climate change, protect against biodiversity loss and safeguard the many benefits of forests to people and nature.

The partnership aims to halt and reverse forest loss from commodity production by collaboratively improving global monitoring and supply chain tracking, as well as accelerating restoration. It aligns partners around the data and ensures access for stakeholders across sectors to open-source data on geospatial forest-risk commodities that is consistent and validated. The result is credible, systematic monitoring, verification and accountability towards progress in reducing commodity-driven deforestation and restoring degraded lands.
