We all know that healthy oceans support climate
                      14          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 boat’s movements with a specially designed form
                    of machine learning makes it possible to determine the area of illegal fishing or seafaring
                    vessels.



                                  This SDG aims at protecting, restoring and promoting
                      15          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 at a global scale.



                                  This  SDG  aims  to  guarantee  justice  and  freedom
                      16          for all people by 2030. The target is to significantly

                                  reduce all forms of violence with communities and
                                  governments to end conflict and insecurity.









                                  To be successful in achieving the goals as large as SDGs,
                      17          it is very much required to have partnerships between
                                  the stakeholders like government, private sector and
                                  civil  society.  The  sharing  has  to  be  of  knowledge,

                    expertise, technology and financial resources to support and achieve
                    the 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.
