Corine Land Cover 2018 (raster) in Eastern Partnership Countries (ENI CLC), Mar. 2025

This metadata describes the Corine Land Cover 2018 status layer dataset in raster format developed for different regions in four European Partnership countries (Armenia, Georgia, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine) under the ENI CLC (European Neighbourhood Initiative - Corine Land Cover) pilot project. This dataset was created following the methodology and rules of the European CLC project, namely computer assisted photointerpretation of satellite imagery, standard European level-3 nomenclature, 25 ha minimum mapping unit (MMU) for status layer, 5 ha MMU for change layer, minimum width of linear elements is 100 meters. These CLC layers have been created in the context of the cooperation between the EEA and four Eastern Partnership countries (Armenia, Georgia, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine), which was implemented through the EU-funded programme "EU4Environment Water & Data". The period of implementation of the project was from 2021 to 2024. Additional information about CLC product description including mapping guides as well as the corresponding CLC class descriptions can be found at the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service website and the metadata of the relevant Corine Land Cover layers.
