Synopsis (short abstract) The mid-term review (MTR) report of the Accelerating Innovative Monitoring for Forests (AIM4Forests) programme was conducted at the request of the AIM4Forests steering committee and in line with the United Kingdom AIM4Forests business case. The main purpose was to provide an independent assessment of the programme’s progress and likelihood of achieving the set goals and make recommendations to enhance programme performance and address strategic issues concerning the programme scope. The MTR focused on the programme from its start in mid-2023 until December 2024 covering programme activities and results at all levels. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland have launched AIM4Forests, a five-year programme to support forest monitoring based on modern monitoring technologies and technical innovation, as well as the use of space data and remote sensing. The programme is all about leveraging technical innovation to create data and information to inform the right courses of action to reduce deforestation and restore forests. AIM4Forests will leverage everything that technology and innovation offers such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. In addition, it will also make sure that the capacity is transferred to countries, including Indigenous Peoples, and local communities who manage the forests – only that way can we see real change.

    Reducing deforestation and forest degradation and restoring and sustainably managing forests are critical pathways to meet the 2030 global goals. Since 1990, more than 420 million hectares of forest have disappeared. Although deforestation rates have slowed, 10 million hectares of forest are still lost every year.To address such challenges, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland have launched AIM4Forests, a five-year programme that aims to support forest monitoring based on modern monitoring technologies and technical innovation, as well as the use of space data and remote sensing.

    The Global Forest Resources Assessment 2000 (FRA 2000) is now completed, but work has already begun on the next global assessment. The expert consultation "Global Forest Resources Assessments - Linking National and International Efforts", known as Kotka IV, brought together international experts in July 2002 to address future concepts and strategies. The articles in this issue of Unasylva are adapted for a wider audience from papers prepared for the meeting. Without going into technical detail, they explore links among assessment and monitoring, national and international information needs, criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management, and reporting of forest-related information to international instruments. The technical details can be found on the FAO Web site (www.fao.org/forestry) and will be published in the Kotka IV proceedings.
