The role of remote sensing in REDD+ MRV

Abstract

This paper describes the role of remote sensing for REDD+ MRV. As MRV activities is related to national GHG accounting, a usage of remote sensing data is implemented under the 2006 IPCC guideline and the useful guidelines which remote sensing community developed. In the actual MRV business scene, cloud computing service began to be used for satellite data processing in MRV activity by international donor agency like FAO, as fee of using high performance computing and large storage is becoming low cost.
