As one of the Entrusted Entities implementing the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS), the European Environment Agency (EEA) is developing the CLC+ Suite of products.
Authoritative data from National Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authorities is important input to the CLC+ Backbone (the geospatial component of the CLC+ Suite of products) to complement the production and updating of satellite-data derived land cover data.
“We are delighted to provide data for CLC+ which plays a vital role in supporting key EU policy needs, as well as specific requirements for stakeholders in EU Member States. As a member of EuroGeographics, we fully support the partnership with the EEA to further explore solutions for providing full, free, and open access to geospatial data for the Copernicus programme.”
