WorldCover 2021 release
In October last year, the WorldCover consortium released the first global land cover map at 10 m resolution for 2020 based on both Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data commissioned by the European Space Agency (ESA). Following the positive feedback from the users, ESA decided to extend the WorldCover project and requested the WorldCover consortium to produce a 2021 version of the product with even higher quality. This new and improved WorldCover map for 2021 will be released on October 28, 2022.
