This book presents a focused orientation on the development and use of RS-based indicators and monitoring tools. Remote Sensing (RS)-based tools for the monitoring and reporting of national progress on land degradation and desertification have been developed and adopted by countries party to United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). Each participating country is supposed to provide country-specific information for performance review in achieving the goals of sustainable land management. This is mostly done through identified set of indicators where the application of RS has emerged as a top necessity. This book illustrates methodological approaches for providing timely information at local to global scale. New approaches and tools that may be integrated for such monitoring and reporting will be placed in this book. This book will be a useful resource among professionals and practitioners working to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs).
