Abstract: This document contains information on the initial design of a potential Copernicus REDD+ Service Component.It describes the initial main technical and organizational elements of the proposed service based the user requirements and the review of existing technical capacities for EO based forest monitoring.A benchmarking procedure has been applied to a list of potentially suitable forest monitoring products/datasets for selecting those with the best 'fit-to-purpose' level for REDD+ related forest monitoring tasks.The technical description of these preselected products serve as the basis for defining the technical specifications of the concepts of a potential REDD+ Copernicus service component.The main organisational elements (including EU regulations related to Copernicus, C-DIAS, distinction Core/Downstream services) have also been considered in relation to the design and implementation of a REDD+ Core Service Component.This proposed design will be the baseline for the assessment and user endorsement within the Learning Exercises (WP4).
