The National Forest Data Lab is an open platform for the entire forest sector. Businesses and public authorities are the intended main users and collaborators, however, the platform can also be used by, for example, academia, research institutes, interest groups and other interested parties. The National Forest Data Lab provides an infrastructure of digital programmable interfaces for accessing satellite data, forest related geodata, AI-methods and wall-to-wall maps. To facilitate data-driven innovation, new models, features and tools that enable analysis of changes, new wall-to-wall maps and AI analysis are being developed.

The primary aim of the MoniFun project is to create a blueprint for a comprehensive European Forest Multifunctionality Monitoring System (EFMMS). This system is designed to effectively tackle the challenges posed by climate change and environmental stressors, all while supporting climate action and the preservation of biodiversity. This research is essential because existing monitoring systems fall short in providing the necessary information for policymakers and stakeholders regarding Europe's multifunctional forests. The project is coordinated by Natural Resources Institute Finland.
