Global estimates of land use and land cover changes are essential to quantify greenhouse gas exchanges between land and the atmosphere and to help report emissions under the Paris Agreement, but at 100-meter resolution, existing maps showing land cover evolution often fail to detect activities related to small-scale deforestation, agriculture or the growth of new settlements, causing significant errors in climate scenario simulations.<\/p>\n
That's why we need newly developed tools, such as the high-resolution satellite maps developed by a team of researchers led by the University of Trento as part of the ESA Climate Change initiative, the European Space Agency's (ESA) climate change initiative, which provides ten times better capacity to monitor and map changes in land cover and land use than is currently available.
