Who uses this

Corporate sustainability teams and sustainability data platform operators use the 9-class annual land cover map as a cost-efficient baseline for monitoring land use change across large geographic footprints from 2017 onwards. The annual temporal resolution makes it well suited to portfolio-scale deforestation monitoring, TNFD land dependency assessments, and SBTN natural lands baselining where field-level resolution is not required.
