At the European level, IGN FI has been a leading player since its creation in the development and validation of land cover databases such as CORINE Land Cover, which are now part of the extensive Copernicus program.
Outside Europe, IGN FI promotes this concept of environmental databases by adapting them to local specificities and developing multiple applications.
The production of geographic data and its integration into “business” applications to generate relevant indicators are intended to support stakeholders in the sector in their decision-making: agro-ecological zoning, monitoring of deforestation or forest degradation, ecosystem accounting, and other environmental analyses.
