Report of the UNEP/FAO Expert Meeting on Harmonizing Land Cover and Land Use Classifications -Gems Report Series No. 25

There is major interest in and need for better information on land cover and land use and on the interrelations between them at global, (sub-) regional, national and local levels, both within and across disciplines. Many actors are already involved in harmonizing land cover and land use data collection and classifications. UNEP and FAQ organized this expert meeting to catalyze further coordinated action towards such harmonization efforts.
