Cecil Earth / Land use & land cover / Land Cover 15-Class
Land use & land cover by Impact Observatory

Land Cover 15-Class

This dataset classifies land cover at 10 m spatial resolution, with global coverage for custom time periods (> 3 months) from 2017 onwards. Pixels are assigned one of 15 land cover classes.

Frameworks

EUDR SBTN TNFD CSRD ESRS E4

Use cases

  • EUDR land cover change detection for commodity deforestation risk
  • SBTN natural lands baseline and conversion monitoring
  • Land use change analysis for corporate deforestation commitments
  • Habitat conversion screening across supply chain sourcing areas

Who uses this

EUDR compliance teams use the 15-class map at 10 m resolution to detect land cover transitions — particularly forest-to-agricultural conversion — on commodity sourcing parcels from 2017 onwards. SBTN analysts use it to characterise natural versus modified landscapes across corporate footprints. The custom time period capability is valued by supply chain teams needing to demonstrate no deforestation over a specific operator-defined reference period.
