Description
Description
This is a simplification of the CCI-LC dataset in which the CCI-LC classes have been mapped to the 6 Land Use categories defined by the IPCC. The mapping has been done following the recommendations from this paper: https://maps.elie.ucl.ac.be/CCI/viewer/download/ESACCI-LC-Ph2-PUGv2_2.0.pdf .
The CCI-LC project delivers consistent global Land Cover maps at 300 m spatial resolution on an annual basis from 1992 to 2018.

Description
The CCI-LC project delivers consistent global Land Cover maps at 300 m spatial resolution on an annual basis from 1992 to 2018.
This dataset’s long-term consistency, yearly updates, and high thematic detail on a global scale is key for climate modellers, while also making it attractive for a multitude of applications such as land accounting, forest monitoring and desertification, in addition to scientific research.
