Abstract
The applications of Google Earth Engine (GEE) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in fostering environmental sustainability, and the broader sustainable development goals (SDGs), have generated a lot of interest since the introduction of the cloud platform. This review examines the different aspects of SDGs that GEE and AI have been applied, including sustainable cities (SDG 11), water resources management and health (SDG three and 6), energy and climate action (SDG 7 and 13), and ecosystem services and land management (SDG 15). It exemplifies the data (satellite images) and the algorithms being used in monitoring and assessing environmental factors and conditions, including SDGs, for better management. The review highlights the challenges and opportunities created by the use of GEE. In conclusion, it briefly discusses the future outlook of integrating GEE and AI into environmental analysis for sustainable society.
