• The methodological and technical development of remote sensing-based forest damage assessment using Sentinel-2 satellite data has been successfully completed. • The FNEWs annual product provides highly accurate information on damaged forest areas at the study area level through maps and statistics. • The FNEWs monthly product reports damaged areas every month. • The main damage components are evaluated in terms of their economic impact on timber production in forestry.
