This document presents the approach for the new Global map of Forest Cover for year 2020 at 10m spatial resolution (GFC 2020, version 1 dated 07 December 2023). GFC 2020 builds on several global data sets and provides a spatially explicit representation of forest presence and absence for the year 2020. The map is therefore a harmonized, globally-consistent representation of where forests existed in 2020. GFC 2020 aims to support the implementation of the EU Regulation on Deforestation-free supply chains, notably in the phase of risk assessment. The primary access to GFC 2020 is via the EU Observatory on Deforestation and Forest Degradation.
