Land cover is of high interest and a key variable that helps monitor multiple SDGs. The Copernicus Global Land Services – Land Cover team is producing global land cover maps at 100 m resolution from 2015 onwards, which allows us to monitor land cover and its change over time. In this presentation, more details will be given about how the processing chain works, and what free and open-source software was used in the making. In the practical session, we will have a chance to produce our very own land cover maps from the fraction layers.
