First digital map of Europe's changing landscapes
|
| First digital map of Europe's changing landscapes The European Environment Agency (EEA) has unveiled the first digital map of the multiple changes that have occurred in Europe's landscapes since 1990. It will enable policy-markers to draw lessons from how their decisions in areas such as agriculture and transport are impacting on the region's finite land resources and the wider environment. CLC 2000's combination of geographical breadth and local detail is a significant improvement on previous land cover information programmes worldwide. The project already covers 30 countries and the number is expected to expand in 2005. The EEA has produced CLC2000 from IMAGE2000, a satellite imaging programme undertaken together with the European Commission's Joint Research Centre. |
