The planning for the SDGs Exhibition Area at Deqing Geographic Information Science and Technology Museum aims to integrate international experience with innovative Chinese expressions. The exhibition will present the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), along with their corresponding targets and indicators, through maps, diagrams, timelines, and other visual tools. It highlights both global contributions toward achieving the SDGs and distinctive Chinese elements. Featuring two thematic sections, the exhibition will demonstrate China’s accomplishments in SDG implementation alongside children’s visions for a sustainable future. The latter section incorporates entries from the Barbara Petchenik World Children’s Map Competition and futuristic city models created by younger generations. Designed to enhance public awareness and engagement in sustainable development, the exhibition is scheduled to open by October 2026.
