Global Land Indicator Initiative

The Global Land Indicator Initiative (GLII) is a collaborative effort that collects and shares data about land use and land cover worldwide. It provides information on how land is being used or changed, such as for agriculture, cities, forests, or conservation. This helps governments, organizations, and communities understand trends, make informed decisions, and promote sustainable land management. By analyzing this data, stakeholders can better plan for future development, protect ecosystems, and address issues like deforestation or urban sprawl, contributing to more sustainable and balanced land use globally.
