Abstract: The 2021?? conference of big data on geographical indications for environment and sustainability (GIES) was held on September 23 and 24, 2021 in Yanchi county, Ningxia Hui autonomous region of China. The conference was co-sponsored by the Big Data Working Committee of the Geographical Society of China (GSC) and the government of Yanchi county. The first GIES case of Yanchi Tan sheep dry grassland in Huamachi town was formally launched. The conference was listed at the program of Farmers?? Harvest Festival of Yanchi county. Three common understandings were made at the conference: developing a guideline for the implementation of the Data Security Law of the People??s Republic of China and SDGs; taking a join action for the 2021-2030 decadal initiative on GIES and adopting eight action lines for implementation of the initiative.

H., vice chair of Big Data Committee, GSC and Prof. of Aerospace Information Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences (AIR/CAS), reported on computing environment for public remote sensing products. Mr. Zhang, X. Q., Chief of Africa Affairs of Zhongguancun Belt and Road Industry Promotion Association, gave a video report on GIES in African countries.

With the development of big data science and technology, young geographers are becoming the main force in the field of big geographical data research and application. In the morning of the 24th, a forum contributed by early career and women scientists was held. Dr. Liu, Y. X. Y. of the National Earth System Science Data Center, Dr. Chen, Z. G. of the National Earth Observation Science Data Center, Dr. Zhang, B. of Chinese Geological Science Data Publishing System, Dr. Shi, R. X., World Data Center of Global Change Scientific Research Data Publishing System, and Dr. Zhu, X. G., Beijing Tianhang Huachuang Technology Co., Ltd. respectively reported the progress of their research and discoveries. The participates identified the challenges and opportunities on big data in geography. Associate Prof. Fu, J. Y. from IGSNRR/CAS and leader of Youth Innovation Promotion Association of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Dr. Wang, S., post-doctor fellow of IGSNRR/CAS summarized that it was the time for youth to have innovative methodology to meet needs from society in local-regional-national and global scales in the era of big data society. The opportunities for youth in big data geography were not only technology, but computational system with SDGs. Prof. He, C. C., Liu, C., Zhang, Q. S. and Zhang, M.

In order to implement the ??Data Security Law of the People??s Republic of China?? from the perspective of Geographical Society of China, Dr. Chen, L. J., vice chair of the Big Data Committee of GSC and senior engineer of the National Geographic Information Center, provided a report about the implementation guidelines of the law. Prof. Liu, C., secretary general of Big Data Committee of GSC, led the discussions. The conference decided:

(1) the Big Data Committee of GSC approved the framework of the Implementation Guideline of the ??Data Security Law of the People??s Republic of China??. Dr. Chen, L. J. and Prof. Zhu, Y. Q. will lead the team to modify the draft based on the discussions. After it is finished, it will be submitted to General Assembly of GSC for approvement.

(2) the Big Data Committee of GSC evaluated the GIES initiative, and agree to continue play the leading role in this action. Not only, it will keep the corporation with IGSNRR/CAS, WFEO, and partners to take the action through the following action lines.

Action Line 1: Call data driven geographical science on quality geographical products, including geographical indications, geographical specific products and geographical civilization products, which could pay more attention to the regional and local geography.

Action Line 2: Build an innovative mechanism for the cooperation; the stakeholders should include research institute, universities, governments, private sectors, scientific communities, publishers and citizens.

Action Line 3: Protect intellectual properties of the quality geographical products (geographical indications, geographical specifications, geographical civilizations).

Action Line 4: Implement FAIR principles for safety and reliable data and knowledge publishing and sharing.

Action Line 5: Take infrastructure and platform of big data and internet of things as one of priorities of the action;

Action Line 6: Promote case studies by an integrating methodology in geography;

Action Line 7: Encourage geographers return and contribute to their hometown with knowledge and any possible ways.

Action Line 8: Enhance international cooperation and collaboration.

In the afternoon of 24th September, all participants visited the wine product base in eastern foot of Helan Mountain, the products of Helan Montain wine was listed in the China-EU geographical indications agreement.
