AI and EO for Advancing Sustainable Development Goals: SmartSDGTunisia as a Case Study

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Earth Observation (EO) are revolutionizing global efforts to achieve the United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). EO provides essential multiscale data for monitoring natural ecosystems, re-sources, and infrastructure, enabling cost-effective and evidence-based decision-making. This paper introduces SmartSDGTunisia, a framework designed to address Tunisia’s specific challenges in achieving SDGs 1, 2, 6, 11, 13, and 15. By integrating AI and EO technologies, the framework aims to enhance monitoring, evaluation, and progress toward sustainable development goals.
