  4. Programmatic aspects • Update / complement to DISCover V1.0 • Global Monitoring for Environment and Security demonstrator • Help with data access and capacity building for developing countries

  5. GLC 2000 users • Global scale • Global Observing Systems (GTOS) • IGOS Terrestrial Carbon Theme (GOFC) • Science community (IGBP, WCRP) • Continental scale • Development project context • National scale • Convention signatories, national development programmes

  6. GLC 2000 implementation guidelines • Hierarchical land cover classification scheme • Flexibility at the national level but a consistent global level product • Uniform data input • Consistent image classification methodology

  7. GLC 2000 implementation plan • Through partnership • For map production • For systematic quality control • For product validation • Co-ordination by the GVM Unit • Secretariat • Working groups
