The Land Cover of the World in the Year 2000
2004-01-26
1.0
The Land Cover of the World 2000 is a product of the GVM Unit that is coordinating and implementing the GLOBAL LAND COVER 2000 Project (GLC 2000) in collaboration with a network of partners around the world, under the coordination of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre. To achieve its objective GLC 2000 makes use of the VEGA 2000 dataset: a dataset of 14 months of pre-processed daily global data acquired by the VEGETATION instrument on board the SPOT 4 satellite, made available through a sponsorship from members of the VEGETATION programme, including JRC. The legend of the map is based on FAO Land Cover Classification System (LCCS). Later version will also include regional legends.
The general objective is to provide for the year 2000 a harmonized land cover database over the whole globe. The year Two Thousand is considered as a reference year for environmental assessment in relation to various activities, in particular the United Nation's Ecosystem-related International Conventions.
