ISDE will Organize a Side Event at UN Water Conference

UN 2023 Water Conference Side EventBig Earth Data: A Game Changer to Promote Implementation SDG 618:30-19:45 (UTC-5), March 23Side Event Room 8, United Nations Headquarters in New York Lead organization: International Society for Digital Earth (ISDE) Organizing partnersInternational Research Center of Big Data for Sustainable Development Goals (CBAS)Land and Water Division, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO Land & Water)World Meteorological Organization (WMO)Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme, The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO-IHP)Global Water Partnership (GWP)International Water Resources Association (IWRA)International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD)General Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Planning and Design, Ministry of Water Resources, China (GIWP) Short DescriptionThe data required for monitoring and evaluation of the existing SDG 6 indicator system mainly depends on the submission or confirmation of member states. Due to the differences in monitoring capabilities and the wide variety of data management methods adopted by different countries, there are unintended gaps in indicator data introducing variety of missing data or data discontinuity challenges in a broad, large scale, and in comparative analysis of the real progress of the targets and indicators for different global sub regions, thus impacting the timing and direction of policy intervention. As a collective of multiple active data sources such as space earth observation, ground observation network and mobile internet, and big data analysis methods and technologies including contemporary and novel techniques such as machine learning, deep learning, and cloud computing technologies, big earth data can help to provide solutions to these data and information challenges. Therefore, it has the potential to provide unique advantages to the progress towards the realization of global SDG 6. The call to leverage big earth data has further been emphasized by UNESCO through its 9th Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme (IHP IX 2022-2029) Strategic Plan on ‘Science for a Water Secure World in a Changing Environment’. IHP-IX emphasizes on the use of new monitoring techniques, and in particular, the latest ICT technologies, remote sensing and big data, which offer exciting opportunities for observing and modelling hydrological processes across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. The plan further envisions that citizen science initiatives and research projects may add to the big data available already through open science and open access initiatives which further promotes the implementation SDG 6.Objectives1) To discuss and promote recent advances and challenges in big earth data sciences and highlight its potential for supporting research and policy towards implementation of SDG 6; 2) To provide discussion opportunities for promoting engagement and foster multidisciplinary sciences to cooperate in facilitating innovative breakthrough in big earth data implementation for SDG 6, and forming new partnership and collaboration mechanism. Expected resultsThe session will allow experts to exchange ideas to help develop a proposed framework for implementation of big earth data sciences in the 2023-2028 water action agenda to improve it as an enabling tool to realize SDG 6 globally. Based on deliberations during the side event, a joint working group for SDG 6 indicator monitoring and evaluation will be established that will work to develop open big earth data product. A cooperative mechanism for future international collaborative work will be identified afterwards.The related voluntary commitments for the Water Action AgendaA voluntary commitment for the Water Action Agenda entitled as SDG 6 Data and Information Service System (SDG6-DISS) based on Big Earth Data has been approved and published at: https://sdgs.un.org/partnerships/sdg-6-data-and-information-service-system-sdg6-diss-based-big-earth-data. AgendaOpening remarks (10’)    Huadong Guo, Honorary President of ISDE, Director General of CBAS (5’)TBD, UNDESA (5’)Keynote presentations and comments (15’)Shanlong Lu, Global and regional SDG 6 data sets based on Big Earth Data, CBAS (5’)TBD, Progress on change in water-use efficiency, Land & Water, FAO (5’)Invited comments (5’)Panel discussion (35’)Lifeng Li, Land & Water, FAOTBD, WMOTBD, UNESCO-IHP TBD, GWPYuanyuan Li, IWRA & GIWPLi Jia, CBASTBD, ICIMODHuadong Guo, ISDE & CBASOpen discussion and wrap-up (15’) Digital Earth istarshine_translate: ISDE将在联合国供水会议上组织一个侧面活动 UN 2023 Water Conference Eventbig Earth数据：促进实施SDG 618：30-19：45（UTC-5）的游戏规则改变者，3月23日，纽约联合国总部纽约领先主管组织8side Event室：国际数字地球学会（国际数字地球学会（ISDE）组织合作伙伴研究中心可持续发展目标的大数据（CBAS）土地和水部，联合国粮食和农业组织（FAO Land＆Water）世界气象组织（WMO）政府间的水文教育计划，联合国间教育计划，科学与文化组织（UNESCO-IHP）全球水资源伙伴关系（GWP）国际水资源协会（IWRA）国际综合山地发展中心（ICIMOD）中国水资源与水力发电计划与设计学院，中国水资源部（GIWP）（GIWP））简短说明监视和评估现有SDG 6指示器系统所需的数据主要取决于子成员国的任务或确认。由于监视功能的差异以及不同国家采用的各种数据管理方法的差异，指标数据中存在意想不到的差距，在广泛，大规模的大规模分析中介绍了各种缺失的数据或数据不连续性挑战，以及对真实的分析针对不同全球子区域的目标和指标的进展，从而影响了政策干预的时机和方向。作为多个有效数据源的集体，例如太空地球观察，地面观测网络和移动互联网，以及大数据分析方法和技术，包括当代和新颖技术，例如机器学习，深度学习和云计算技术，大地数据可以帮助为这些数据和信息挑战提供解决方案。因此，它有可能为实现全球可持续发展目标的进步提供独特的优势。“在不断变化的环境中为水保护世界的科学”。IHP-IX强调使用新的监测技术，尤其是最新的ICT技术，遥感和大数据，这为观察和建模各种空间和时间尺度的水文过程提供了令人兴奋的机会。该计划进一步设想，公民科学计划和研究项目可能会增加通过开放科学和开放访问计划已获得的大数据，从而进一步促进实施SDG 6. Objectives1）讨论和促进大地数据科学和大地数据科学和挑战的最新进展和挑战强调其支持实施可持续发展目标6的研究和政策的潜力；2）提供讨论机会来促进参与并培养多学科SCIEN在SDG 6的大地数据实施中促进创新的突破以及建立新的合作伙伴关系和协作机制，以合作。预期的结果会议将使专家能够交换想法，以帮助开发一个拟议的框架，以在2023 - 2028年的水上行动议程中实施大地数据科学，以将其改进，以作为在全球范围内实现SDG 6的促成工具。基于在附带事件期间的审议，将建立一个用于SDG 6指标监视和评估的联合工作组，以开发开放的大地数据产品。随后将确定未来国际协作工作的合作机制。与题为SDG 6数据和信息服务系统（SDG6-DISS）的水上行动议程的自愿承诺相关承诺，基于大地球数据批准并在以下网址发表：https：//sdgs.un.org/partnhirps/sdg-6-data-and-information-service-system-system-system-sdg6-diss基于big-earth-data。ISDE荣誉总裁，ISDE（5'）TBD总干事（5'）（5'）主题演讲和评论（15'）Shanlong Lu，Global and Global and Regional SDG 6数据集的CBAS（5'）TBD，ISDE（5'）TBD的总干事Huadong Guo（10'）Earth Data，CBAS（5'）TBD，水利用效率变化的进展，土地和水，粮农组织（5'）邀请评论（5'）面板讨论（35'）lifeng lieg lieng li，土地和水，faotbd，wmotbd，联合国教科文组织-IHP TBD，Gwpyuanyuan Li，Iwra＆Giwpli Jia，Cbastbd，Icimodhuadong Guo，ISDE＆CBASOPEN讨论和总结（15'）
