CORINE (Coordination of Information on the Environment)

CORINE (Coordination of Information on the Environment) is a European project that gathers and shares detailed data about land use, natural features, and environmental changes across Europe. Using satellite images and surveys, it creates consistent maps to monitor forests, urban areas, water bodies, and other landscapes. This information helps policymakers, researchers, and environmental managers understand how the environment is changing over time, supports sustainable development, and informs conservation efforts. Essentially, CORINE provides a comprehensive, standardized view of Europe's environmental landscape to support informed decision-making.
