CORINE Land Cover is a pan-European land cover inventory with 44 classes. Initiated in 1985 (the 1990 reference year) the inventory is available for the 1990, 2000, 2006, 2012 and 2018 reference years including change layers 1990-2000, 2006-2012 and 2012-2018. CORINE Land Cover is part of the European Union’s Copernicus Land Monitoring Service.

Corine Land Cover accounting layer
The Corine Land Cover status layers are modified for the purpose of consistent statistical analysis in the land cover change accounting system at EEA. Corine Land Cover (CLC) data are produced from 1986 for the European (EEA member or cooperating) countries. Pan-European CLC and CLCC data are available as vector and raster products.
Corine Land Cover in Eastern Partnership Countries
This metadata describes the Corine Land Cover 2000 dataset, developed for the capital regions in five European Partnership countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine) under the ENI CLC (European Neighbourhood Initiative - Corine Land Cover) pilot project. These datasets were created following the methodology and rules of the European CLC project, namely computer assisted photointerpretation of satellite imagery, standard European level-3 nomenclature, 25 ha minimum mapping unit (MMU) for status layer, 5 ha MMU for change layer, minimum width of linear elements is 100 meters.
This pilot has been created in the context of the cooperation between the EEA and the six Eastern Partnership countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine), which was implemented through the EU-funded regional project “Implementation of the Shared Environmental Information System principles and practices in the Eastern Partnership countries” (the ENI SEIS II East Project).
Coastal zones derived from Corine Land Cover
This is the coastal zone land surface region from Europe, derived from the coastline towards inland, as a series of 10 consecutive buffers of 1km width each. The coastline is defined by the extent of the Corine Land Cover 2018 (raster 100m) version 20 accounting layer.
