In 2016 the world leaders adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which is a United Nations initiative to achieve sustainable development (the only development that grants the needs of future generations).
In particular, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 15: Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss. This goal has many targets by 2020 and 2030 in order to ensure the conservation of forests, ecosystems and their biodiversity, and combat desertification.
We should all be involved in achieving these targets of sustainability.
In this post I recommend to register to the upcoming free webinar by NASA ARSET (Applied Remote Sensing Training) focused on addressing the Sustainable Development Goal 15 through remote sensing and the calculation of land indicators, estimating forest area and forest change, including an introduction to image classification, change detection, and accuracy assessments.
