Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGeographic information – Classification systems: Land Cover Meta Language (LCML)
Part 2: ISO 19144-2:2023 (Edition 2)
2025Also available in:
No results found.The ISO 19144-2 – land cover meta language (LCML) is prepared jointly by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Technical Committee of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) i.e., Technical Committee 211 (TC211) on Geographic information/Geomatics. This document specifies a Land Cover Meta Language (LCML) expressed as a UML metamodel that allows different Land Cover classification systems to be described based on physiognomic aspects. This document recognizes that a number of Land Cover classification systems exist. It provides a common reference structure for the comparison and integration of data for any generic Land Cover classification system, but does not intend to replace those classification systems.FAO acknowledges with deep appreciation the exceptional permission granted by ISO to continue republishing the current editions of the ISO 19144 series as FAO publications. This unique arrangement underscores the spirit of mutual trust and collaboration between the two organizations, ensuring wider and equitable access to these essential standards by Member Nations, technical partners and practitioners around the world. -

Part 3: ISO 19144-3:2024 (Edition 1)
2025Also available in:
No results found.The ISO 19144-3 – land use meta language (LUML) was prepared jointly by FAO, Technical Committee of ISO i.e., Technical Committee 211 (TC211) on Geographic information/Geomatics, and European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 287. This document specifies a Land Use Meta Language (LUML) expressed as a UML metamodel that allows different land use classification systems to be described. This document recognizes that there are a number of land use classification systems in existence. It provides a common reference structure for the comparison and integration of data for any generic land use classification system, but does not intend to replace those classification systems. This document complements ISO 19144-2 on Land Cover Meta Language (LCML) and can be used independently to describe land use or together with ISO 19144-2 to describe a combined land cover land use.FAO acknowledges with deep appreciation the exceptional permission granted by ISO to continue republishing the current editions of the ISO 19144 series as FAO publications.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLand Cover Classification System: Advanced Database Gateway
Software version 3
2016Also available in:
No results found.Advanced Database Gateway The FAO Land Cover Classification System software is due to be released in its third version, and with it come four supporting volumes. The third volume is a tutorial for the use of the Advanced Database Gateway which allows users to better interact with the LCCS and adapt it to their needs. The FAO LCCS is applicable to commercial use, national security, environmental protection, natural resource management, climate change mitigation and tracking of greenhouse gas emi ssions; and creates land classifications that are internationally transparent and comparable. -

FAO's work to tackle the climate crisis
2023Amid a worsening climate crisis and slow progress in cutting greenhouse gases, sustainable agrifood systems practices can help countries and communities to adapt, build resilience and mitigate emissions, ensuring food security and nutrition for a growing global population. FAO is working with countries and partners from government to community level to simultaneously address the challenges of food security, climate change and biodiversity loss.But none of this will ultimately succeed unless the world commits to a significant increase in the quality and quantity of climate finance. -
