Perceiving progress and imbalance of environmental SDG indicators in China using big data
Abstrak
ABSTRACTIn the past decades, the environment has changed drastically in China with rapid economic development. Lack of data, especially data with spatiotemporal information, has however hindered evaluating progress of environmental indicators in the global Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) framework. Here, we evaluate and explore geospatial information of 20 environmental SDG indicators from six SDGs in China from 2010 to 2020 using big data. We show China has improved rapidly in most of the 20 indicators, except for indicator 13.2.2 (CO2 emission). 63.5% of China’s land mass showed improved states for the SDG indicators. By 2020, four of the indicators were found to have achieved their 2030 targets. It is predicted from the existing data that 10 of the 20 indicators can achieve their targets smoothly by 2030, but two indicators will lag behind. We quantitatively show China’s progress towards the environmental SDG indicators, and put forward timelines and suggestions for policy makers.
