GlobCover land cover map world ESA 2009

The European Space Agency's ESA GlobeCover is a global land cover map that has been produced in an automatic and global way and is associated with a legend defined and documented using the UN Land Cover Classification System (LCCS).

The GlobCover 2009 land cover map is delivered as one global land cover map covering the entire Earth. Its legend, which counts 22 land cover classes, has been designed to be consistent at the global scale and therefore, it is determined by the level of information that is available and that makes sense at this scale.
