The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are central to the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. However, implementing the 2030 Agenda faces considerable challenges. Addressing sustainable development issues and supporting progress towards the SDGs have become global priorities. The rapid advancement of Digital Earth technologies, particularly in digital transformation, has demonstrated substantial potential for addressing these sustainable development challenges. To foster international collaboration and dialogue on Digital Earth technologies and their role in supporting the SDGs, the 14th International Symposium on Digital Earth will convene in Chongqing, China, from April 21 to 25, 2025.
