The Ministry of Natural Resources and the National Development and Reform
Commission issued implementation opinions on “AI + natural resources.” Targets:
by 2028 achieve demonstration applications of AI across the natural-resources
sector and build high-quality datasets, large models and intelligent agents for
key areas including spatiotemporal geographic information, territorial spatial
planning and governance, oceans, geological minerals, and forestry/grasslands.
Upgrade the intelligence of the national “one map” and develop replicable,
scalable application scenarios to drive new productive capacity in natural
resources. By 2030, AI should be deeply integrated across the full
natural-resources management chain, with an integrated intelligent national
territorial-space governance platform, key core technologies and intelligent
equipment that are secure and controllable, and overall digital‑intelligent
natural-resources governance reaching an internationally leading level, with AI
a major driver of ecological and high‑quality development.
