Introduction
The GLCN initiative brings together national technical staff in the field
of Remote Sensing/GIS, Agriculture, Forestry, Pasture/Rangeland, Environment,
and Food Security to develop a network at the regional and global scale to
adopt the standardization of land cover measurement methods and develop
regional and global land cover products. The collaboration involves not
only data providers but also data users and policy-makers.
GLC2000
In collaboration with a network of partners (30 research teams) from
around the world, the Global Vegetation Monitoring (GVM) unit of
the Joint Research Centre (JRC) compiled a harmonized global
land cover classification for the year 2000 (GLC2000) database,
using data acquired by the SPOT4 Vegetation instrument.

Globcover
GLOBCOVER was launched in 2004 as an initiative of the European Space
Agency (ESA) which aims to produce a new global land-cover database
based upon fine resolution (300m) images acquired over the full year
2005 by the MERIS sensor on-board the ENVISAT satellite.

Geoland
Geoland is a Framework Program 6 Integrated Project financed by the
European Commission (EC), which aims to build up a European capacity
or Global Monitoring of Environment and Security (GMES) in the
field of land applications.

World mangroves
The FAO Environmental Assessment and Management Unit (NRCE), with its
long experience in remote sensing and GIS technologies, and mapping
methodologies and tools has been requested by ITTO to review 28
countries for updating the
2nd edition
of the World Atlas of Mangroves.

Global Forest Resources Assessment 2010 (FRA 2010)
GLCN standards are being used in the Remote Sensing Survey initiative
of the FRA 2010 programme.
