Global Land Cover (ESA/ESA CCI/UCLouvain) 2015

The Climate Change Initiative (CCI) Land Cover (LC) project of the European Space Agency (ESA) delivers consistent global LC maps at 300 m spatial resolution on an annual basis from 1992 to 2015. Each pixel value corresponds to the label of a land cover class defined based on the UN Land Cover Classification System (LCCS). UN Biodiversity Lab shows only the data for year 2015.<br><br>For further information or to download the full dataset please visit the: <a href="http://maps.elie.ucl.ac.be/CCI/viewer/">European Space Agency Climate Change Innitiative</a>.<br><br>Citation: European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative, Land Cover project. 2017. 300m Annual Global Land Cover Time Series from 1992 to 2015.

Supplemental Information

You can customize the template to suit your needs. You can add

and remove fields and fill out default information (e.g. contact details).

Fields you can not change in the default view may be accessible in the more

comprehensive (and more complex) advanced view. You can even use the XML editor

to create custom structures, but they have to be validated by the system, so

know what you do :-)
