EGI Foundation Director Tiziana Ferrari joins the meeting with the presentation “European coordinated efforts for access and analysis of environmental data: the ENVRI-Hub NEXT approach” on 7 September. Check out the full programme here.

About

The year 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Despite a decade of efforts, the world still faces numerous challenges on the path to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), necessitating deeper cooperation and innovative practices. Digital technologies, represented by Earth observation, big data, and artificial intelligence, are capable of bringing about innovative changes in multiple aspects of SDG monitoring and evaluation. They also drive the formulation and implementation of integrated solutions to sustainable development challenges across sectors and regions.

From 2021 to 2024, the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully hosted four consecutive International Forums on Big Data for Sustainable Development Goals. The 5th International Forum on Big Data for Sustainable Development Goals will be held in Beijing from September 6th to 8th, 2025. This forum will bring together top scientists, policymakers, industry leaders, and practitioners from around the globe to explore how to innovatively leverage digital technologies to accelerate the achievement of the SDGs, injecting new momentum and wisdom into global sustainable development.
