trends.earth QGIS Plugin

Description:trends.earth is a QGIS extension for analyzing land changes. Various tools allow visualization, download and analysis of data.
With the visualization tool, base maps of all countries, including main cities, water bodies and administrative borders can be downloaded. Through the download option processed land-cover, precipitation maps and more that are freely available can be downloaded through the app. The app aims to help achieve the Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), and to support reporting to the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD).
