SDG 14: Life Below Water

                                         We all know that healthy oceans support climate change mitigation and
                                         adaptation efforts. SDG targets to prevent and reduce marine pollution,
                                         protect  marine and coastal  ecosystems,  regulate  harvesting and end
                                         destructive fishing practices, etc. Our oceans are vast and cover more than
                                         70% of the earth’s surface.

                  This makes tracking and measuring life under water a massive task. Satellite imagery and analysis
                  of a boat’s movements with a specially designed form of machine learning makes it possible to
                  determine the area of illegal fishing or seafaring vessels.

                  SDG 15: Life on Land
                  This aims  at protecting,  restoring  and  promoting  the  sustainable  use  of
                  terrestrial ecosystems, managing forests, fighting deforestation, reversing

                  land degradation and stopping biodiversity loss. In future, AI methods may
                  be used to create a digital dashboard for the planet, to help us monitor,
                  model, foresee and manage environmental systems on a global scale.






                                         SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
                                         This  aims  to  guarantee  justice  and  freedom  for  all people  by  2030.  The
                                         target is to significantly reduce all forms of violence with communities and
                                         governments to end conflict and insecurity.



                  SDG 17: Partnership for the Goals

                  To be successful in achieving goals as large as SDGs, it is very much

                  required to have partnerships between the stakeholders like government,
                  the private sector and civil society. The sharing has to be of knowledge,
                  expertise, technology and financial resources to support and achieve
                  sustainable development goals in all the countries. AI can be a vital tool
                  for the global community to achieve the targets of the United Nations
                  Sustainable Development Goals. Asia and the Middle East have already
                  instigated to focus on AI as a part of their development strategy and
                  economic growth.
