Earth Observations for Sustainable Development Goals.

The use of remote sensing generates needs and requirements for in situ data that can be used for calibrating and validating remote sensing products and numerical models. In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aiming at ending poverty, protecting the planet, and ensuring peace and prosperity. In most papers of this Special Issue, the computation of SDG indicators using remote sensing data shows great potential. Applications in Ecosystems and Forestry Ecosystem health can be monitored from remote sensing using Gross Primary Productivity (GPP). [Extracted from the article]
