The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development provides an important framework economic, social, and environmental action. A comprehensive indicator system to aid in the systematic implementation monitoring of progress toward Goals (SDGs) is unfortunately limited many countries due lack data. availability a growing amount multi-source data rapid advancements big methods infrastructure provide unique opportunities mitigate these shortages develop innovative methodologies comparatively SDGs. Big Earth Data, special class with spatial attributes, holds tremendous potential facilitate science, technology, innovation implementing SDGs around world. Several programs initiatives China have invested Data capabilities, successfully carried out case studies demonstrate their utility sustainability science. This paper presents implementations evaluating SDG indicators, including development new algorithms, expansion (for 11.4.1) extension 11.3.1), introduction biodiversity risk index as more effective analysis method 15.5.1, several high-quality products, such global net ecosystem productivity, high-resolution mountain green cover index, endangered species richness. These innovations are used present 2, 6, 11, 13, 14, 15 from 2010 2020 utilizing concluding that all six on schedule be achieved by 2030.

Cities are expanding all over the world. In this study we aim to understand how pace and scale of urban growth dynamics vary across geographies. This contributes literature in four key ways: First, is comprehensive including 1567 cities worldwide that had >300,000 inhabitants 2015. Second, comparison settlement performed relation continents, geographic regions, national levels city sizes. Third, a data-driven approach delineate boundaries allows for consistent comparisons Fourth, measured past trends projected into future linked climate scenarios used by Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimate where spatial focal areas urbanization climate-change meet. The based remote sensing-derived geodata such as World Settlement Footprint Evolution dataset period 1985 2015 morphological areas. findings are: At continental scale, highest relative rates Asia. Among IPCC East contrast, lowest Oceania Europe. As expected, most there general decline period. One surprising finding absolute expansion not declining time, but rather relatively constant. It also interesting see within countries settlements widely Asia, whereas Europe only marginal differences. And finally, look reveals certain regions can expect particularly high exposures. South Asia West Africa, example, very increase predicted maximum rainfall forecast. greatest extreme temperatures North America. has already slowed there, so adaptation measures taking center stage.

Human settlements typically expand to accommodate additional housing demand from a growing population and their socio-economic activities. This implies consumption of land, limited resource necessary for many other services. The efficiency this exploitation in relation demographic trends is key preserve land natural capital that could otherwise be degraded. Here, we assess patterns built-up area growth over the period 2000–2015, using statistics remote-sensing data. We find on average, EU27, areas grew at faster pace than they expanded even regions where has declined. quantify impact future under different assumptions efficiency. Keeping current per capita fixed up 9,000 km2 until 2030, especially outside predominantly urban regions, use generally low been declining.

Improvements in and the assessment of land use efficiency are crucial pillars for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study reviews 208 representative papers, oral reports, project reports to provide a systematic comprehensive understanding current status future trends research on assessment. The findings reveal that (1) number papers is rapidly increasing, with primarily focused environmental science ecology (n = 157, 75.48%). (2) Quantitative models gaining popularity assessment, more than 46.63% studies adopting data envelopment analysis (DEA) model. (3) definition perspectives diverse, but relative accounts significant proportion. (4) Constructing large complex model incorporates geospatial effects, big data, computer technology hot topic methods. On other hand, conducting global scale conducive SDGs. (5) core improving lies joint implementation multi-pronged measures.
