Describe the requested improvement
The European Space Agency (ESA) WorldCover product offers global land cover maps for 2020 and 2021 at a 10-meter resolution, derived from Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data. These maps are available on AWS and can be accessed via an STAC endpoint.
By integrating the ESA WorldCover product with the sits package, we can unlock a host of new applications. For instance, we could easily compare LULC maps and perform data sampling, enhancing the data analysis capabilities.
For this reason, we should consider including the ESA WorldCover maps as a data source in sits.
