Introduction to the Lecture:

 

In 2015, the United Nations adopted 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs), covering three major areas: economy, society and the environment, directing all countries towards sustainable development. However, problems such as missing data, unbalanced development, correlation and mutual constraints of goals have hindered the realization of SDGs. The Chinese Academy of Sciences’ pilot project, “Big Earth Data Science Project”, focuses on the research, monitoring and evaluation of six SDGs and their indicators, having achieved a series of results, which contributed to the establishment of the International Research Center of Big Data for Sustainable Development Goals (CBAS). Practice has proven that big earth data can provide scientific support for realizing the sustainable development goals of the United Nations.
