It uses modern data analysis techniques to ensure temporal consistency and accuracy, with the latest version achieving 80% accuracy at class level 1 on each continent. The product also includes continuous field layers, or "fraction maps", that provide proportional estimates for vegetation and ground cover for the land cover types. These features make it a versatile tool for a wide range of applications, including forest monitoring, rangeland management, crop monitoring, biodiversity conservation, climate modelling, and urban planning. Dynamic land cover maps include transitions of land cover classes over time and hence captures land cover changes. This Collection 3 includes the global land cover maps, at 100m resolution, for base year 2015 and subsequent years until 2019. These consist of different layers: the base classification with 23 classes, versatile fractional cover (0-100% per pixel) for the main classes, forest type and related quality information (e.g. classification probability, input data density and confidence level for the change detection). This product is first designed to fit the requirements of the Global component of the Copernicus Land Service. It can be also useful for all applications related to the environment monitoring. Land Cover products were generated by the Global component of the Land Service of Copernicus, the Earth Observation programme of the European Commission. The research leading to the current version of the product has received funding from various European Commission Research and Technical Development programs. The product is based on PROBA-V 100m and 333m data (copyright BELSPO and distribution by VITO NV), as well as renowned external datasets (e.g. World Settlement Footprint by DLR, Global Surface Water by the EC Joint Research Centre, OpenStreetMap).

Within the Copernicus component, a portfolio of land monitoring activities has been delegated by the European Union to the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the DG Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. The Copernicus land monitoring products and services are made available on a principle of full, open and free access, as established by the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1159/2013 of 12 July 2013. Free, full and open access to the products and services of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service is made on the conditions that: 1. When distributing or communicating Copernicus Land Monitoring Service products and services (data, software scripts, web services, user and methodological documentation and similar) to the public, users shall inform the public of the source of these products and services. 2. Where the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service products and services have been adapted or modified by the user, the user shall clearly state this. 3. Users shall make sure not to convey the impression to the public that the user's activities are officially endorsed by the European Union.

Several other products are integrated into the discrete map (LCCS layer) such as World Settlement Footprint (DLR), the Global Surface Water (JRC), OpenStreetMap, the Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (NASA) and Circum-Polar Arctic Vegetation Map (U.S. CPAVM team). The land cover is provided at 100 m resolution, however the training data is gathered at 10m resolution which has enabled to generate the continuous cover fields and provide per pixel a cover percentage (0-100%) for a set of classes.
