M 2nd ACT(The Confrontation)
"Map and risk assess all own mills and concessions on Global Forest Watch (GFW)"
Dhaval Buch, Chief Procurement Officer, Unilever“We are committed to working with others to eliminate deforestation from the world’s commodity supply chains. To do this we need to ensure our own purchases are fully traceable and certified sustainable and encourage whole industries to set and meet high standards. In the case of palm oil specifically, it is important that we work closely with our suppliers and expert partners to make sure we have robust traceability and risk verification systems on the ground. In 2016, our Sustainable Palm Oil Sourcing Policy was re-launched with stronger commitments on human rights, smallholder inclusion and traceability implementation. We have also moved forward our target of achieving 100% fully physically certified oil to 2019 from 2020. The PALM Risk Tool will facilitate increased transparency, help us identify high risk mills and support us as we work to drive the transformational change needed in the palm oil industry. This is why we are supporting its development and the further strengthening of the Tool in key areas such as the mapping of National Parks.”

What Needs Are We Addressing?
• Detect deforestation as it happens• Support stakeholders with minimal resources to
monitor, enforce & advocate• Provide more locally relevant information• Adapt on-the-ground monitoring and enforcement
systems to incorporate near real time data• Extract insights from the data rapidly• Scaling beyond isolated examples

3. Use of data to inform sustainable land use planning
BREAKOUT SESSION:
1. Who is the community of potential GFW Climate users?
2. What can/should GFW Climate offer that doesn’t exist elsewhere?
3. Should we incorporate a spatial planning component? If so, what would it look like?
GFW National EngagementNational level policy and planning
Fred Stolle
The use of GFW, and GFW data at country level?
In 2014, 2015, 2016 we discussed:
•A Global tool but used and useful in many levels including the national level
•How information flows from national to global and back.
•How to use GFW for national/local impacts81
Problem statement
•How, or what technology, of GFW can be used for specific country problems/ reporting and how does this link to the global initiative
Is Global data not specific enough, not official enough, does analysis not address the specific problems, do we not have the right connections ?

What was on top of peoples mind- 2 -
• Language• Internet connection• Training

• GFW not a primary tool for national governments
What was on top of peoples mind- 3 -

GFW innovation
What have we done to address these issuesDevelop New options on GFW website1. Develop my-GFW: View and Manage subscriptions2. Better Translations3. How to Portal4. Upload own data 5. Developing new country pagesDevelop new tools6. Develop National Atlas using MapBuilder: off-line, national language, customize7. Piloted Tree-cover change Nationalize datasets 8. Forest watcherWe continued doing9. Deep, long-term engagements (local staff based in-country supporting the ministry).2. Small grant fund 88
How does this make a change – Theory of change
Can these changes (mapbuilder, nationalized change data) move GFW from a global impactful initiative to a Global AND country impactful initiative where GFW technology can be used officially(e.g. reporting to CBD, UNFCCC etc with GFW technology)
89
Challenges moving forward
Resources:
- UMD nationalize data,
- develop MapBuilder
Move parallel data to official data:
- Many exiting data, projects
- Training 90
