LivingEarth

First, map and describe land cover and habitat classes from Earth observations, providing further differentiation using contextual information

Include information on water states, surface and volumar properties and substrate types

Gather evidence for change impacts by comparing these maps and environmental descriptors used in their construction over time and then reference driving pressures.

Generate what are termed natural accounts to inform on values of landscapes and how these have changed.

Estimate the distribution, abundance and richness of biodiversity and whether these are heading in the right direction

Generate imagined or predicted future landscapes and then use Living Earth to monitor progress towards goals and ambitions.
