On the 16th of April 2026 (10:00-11:00 CEST), we are organizing an introductory webinar for everybody who is interested in using the FCM tools. If you are wondering whether these tools might be beneficial for you and where you could access them, this webinar is for you. The presentations (see agenda below) will describe the selection of tools, provide highlights of selected tools and inform how users can access the tools. Online demonstration of the functionality of the tools will be included.
Next week, the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) will organize the second edition of the conference on Earth Observation for Monitoring, Reporting and Verification of Carbon Removals (EO4MRV). Held in Copenhagen, Denmark, on the 7-10 October 2025, the conference will bring together experts from across disciplines (scientific research, national GHG inventories, policy, and the private sector) to share insights, innovations, and experiences that support robust MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) systems for carbon removals in the EU.
At the Living Planet Symposium 2025, a packed Room 0.14 came to life early Thursday morning as stakeholders from across the forest, climate, and remote sensing sectors gathered for a networking session titled “Unlocking the Power of EO for Forest Carbon Monitoring.” Hosted by the European Space Agency’s Forest Carbon Monitoring (FCM) project, the session combined expert presentations, dynamic panel discussions, and audience engagement, showcasing how Earth Observation (EO) is transforming forest biomass and carbon monitoring.
Join us at the upcoming Living Planet Symposium (LPS 2025) for a dynamic networking session showcasing our European Space Agency’s Forest Carbon Monitoring (FCM) project and our versatile toolset for Earth Observation (EO)-based forest biomass and carbon monitoring. Designed to support a wide spectrum of forestry stakeholders, our FCM tools address key needs from policy compliance reporting (e.g. CRCF, LULUCF), voluntary private-sector reporting, to scientific applications including digital twins and ecosystem analysis.
The Winter Satellite Workshop (WSW) is one of the largest annual Earth Observation events in Finland and the biggest New Space meeting in Scandinavia and the Baltic countries. It brings together over 500 space technology specialists, scientists and students to discuss current topics in a rapidly developing space field.
Last week, the FCM consortium had the opportunity to participate in the ‘Second Forum on Earth Observation for Carbon Markets’. This year, the forum was held in conjunction with the ‘EO for improving LULUCF Monitoring, reporting and verification’ meeting.
While waiting for the finalization of the plans for the project extension, we would like to highlight some key developments that took place since the end of the main phase of the Forest Carbon Monitoring (FCM) project. The project was highlighted in several occasions in different types of events and media.
The long-awaited Forest Carbon Monitoring User Workshop was finally held in sunny Espoo, Finland, on the 1-2 March 2023. This was the culmination point of the cooperation with our user partners, who have been supporting the project from the very beginning.
A workshop entitled “Towards harmonised forest monitoring and reporting for the EU” was organized in context of the Swedish Presidency on 1-2 February 2023 in Uppsala, Sweden. This workshop was a a follow-up to the workshop held in Kutná Hora in September 2022 during the Czech EU Council Presidency, to build on the outcomes of that meeting.
