Neftaly Forest Monitoring to Support SDG 13: Climate Action Using Remote Sensing
Forests Are Climate Solutions. Data Makes Them Stronger.
Climate change is a global emergency, and forests are one of our most powerful natural allies in the fight. They absorb carbon dioxide, regulate local climates, protect watersheds, and strengthen community resilience. Yet, forests are disappearing at alarming rates due to deforestation, degradation, and climate-related disasters.
Neftaly uses advanced remote sensing technologies to monitor forest ecosystems in real time—helping governments, organizations, and climate actors take decisive, data-driven action to achieve SDG 13: Climate Action.

???? The Role of Forests in Climate Action
???? Carbon Sequestration – Forests absorb about one-third of global CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels annually.
???? Disaster Mitigation – Healthy forests buffer floods, landslides, and heatwaves.
???? Water and Temperature Regulation – Forests influence rainfall patterns and cool the atmosphere.
???? Air Quality Improvement – Forests filter pollutants and help stabilize regional climates.

????️ Neftaly’s Remote Sensing Capabilities for Climate-Smart Forest Monitoring
Carbon Stock and Biomass Estimation
Use satellite and LiDAR data to assess carbon storage and track changes in biomass over time.
Deforestation and Degradation Detection
Monitor forest loss using high-resolution satellite imagery (e.g. Sentinel-2, Landsat, MODIS).
Forest Fire Monitoring
Identify fire-prone areas and track burn scars using thermal and radar data.
Climate Vulnerability Mapping
Identify forests at risk due to drought, pests, or extreme weather conditions.
Reforestation and Restoration Tracking
Evaluate progress of afforestation and nature-based solutions to enhance carbon capture.

???? Key Outputs
Carbon Emissions and Sequestration Reports
Deforestation and Forest Health Maps
Land Use Change and Restoration Tracking Dashboards
Forest Fire Alerts and Risk Layers
SDG 13 and NDC (Nationally Determined Contribution) Alignment Tools

✅ Benefits for Climate Action
Data-Driven Decision Making
Support climate policy, funding, and restoration efforts with credible forest data.
Carbon Accounting and Reporting
Track carbon stocks for national GHG inventories and carbon credit markets.
Early Warning and Prevention
Detect degradation early to avoid emissions and biodiversity loss.
Transparent SDG Monitoring
Provide measurable progress toward SDG 13 and SDG 15 targets.
Supports Nature-Based Climate Solutions (NbS)
Strengthen ecosystem-based strategies for climate resilience and adaptation.

????️ Applications
National Climate Change Mitigation Programs
Forest Carbon and REDD+ Projects
Climate Finance and Carbon Markets
Green Infrastructure and Land Use Planning
Biodiversity and Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) Initiatives

???? Neftaly in Action
In 2025, Neftaly partnered with a national forestry commission in West Africa to develop a real-time forest carbon monitoring platform. Using satellite data and predictive models, the system helped identify over 1.2 million tons of carbon loss in high-risk zones, enabling early intervention and supporting their updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

???? Partner with Neftaly for Forest-Based Climate Action
Forests are climate solutions—but only if we protect and restore them. Neftaly offers the technology, tools, and insight to monitor forests at scale and support ambitious climate goals.
