In September 2020, Norway's Ministry of Climate and Environment awarded a consortium of commercial satellite imagery providers, Kongsberg Satellite Services with partners Planet and Airbus, a contract to open comprehensive access to high-resolution satellite monitoring of the tropics to help reduce and reverse tropical forest loss. This contract opens analysis-ready Planet Basemaps of the tropics under a CC-NC license in support of the Purpose of Norway's International Climate and Forests Initiatives. Key goals of this program include advancing scientific research and development in forests and climate; supporting international, national, and subnational policies for conservation and climate goals; empowering indigenous and local communities in the fight against deforestation; facilitating solutions to remove pressure on forests from global markets; and more. This session will provide an introduction to the NICFI Data Program, including what datasets are available, technical how-to's (including access, download, analysis, and integrations), and example use cases and impacts to date.
