.GLOBAL LAND COVER NETWORK/ASIACOVER WORKSHOP
OVERVIEW GLCN The Global Land Cover Network (GLCN) initiative is the result of a common effort of FAO and UNEP to answer the need expressed by the international community for a global land cover standardized data base.
The GLCN initiative is based on the recommendations of the Agenda 21 for coordinated, systematic and harmonized collection and assessment of data on land cover and environmental conditions, especially for monitoring degradation: remote sensing and Ggeographical Iinformation Systems (GIS) technologies are used.
Presently, the GLCN is the first example of an operational global initiative in the domain of geographical information.
As a result of this effort and as another step towards development of a global, harmonized land cover classification and mapping strategy, with the objective to provide direction, focus and guidance for harmonization of land cover mapping and monitoring at national, regional and global levels.
This initiative has been launched at the conference “Strategies for Global Land Cover Mapping and Monitoring” held in Florence 6-8 May 2002 during which a common final declaration (the Artimino declaration) was issued.
