The inFORm Consortium, led by Prof. Jim Lynch, OBE, aims to transform international forest management by integrating various services into a cohesive strategy for REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation). With a projected market of $100 billion by 2020, the initiative focuses on opportunities in environmental services, inventory management, and finance. Our capabilities encompass advanced remote sensing technologies, traceability for forest products, and robust governance frameworks. Join us in combating climate change and promoting sustainable development.
