Monitoring Land Degradation from Space [PDF]

GI_Forum, 2021
Unsustainable practices and increasing pressure on soil jeopardise the achievement of land degradation neutrality, targeted by 2030. Land degradation is costing billions in terms of land restoration and is heavily impacting human health and climate change. Sustainable Development Goals' (SDGs) target 15.3 focuses on the issue, and several methodologies
