"The Belt and Road" initiatives, with its wide range, diverse cultures, and vulnerable ecological environments, needs the earth observation technology to deal with various new challenges. In this work, firstly the geographical scientific connotation of "the Belt and Road" initiatives was analyzed, and then the capability of nighttime light remote sensing was explored and the application areas of this technology in "the Belt and Road" initiatives construction were summarized. Furthermore, the advantages of nighttime light remote sensing in earth observation technology were reviewed. In order to meet the requirements of the countries along the belt and road, four nighttime light remote sensing application areas, i.e., the gas fire spatiotemporal information mining, social economic parameter estimation, ecological environment evaluation, and reconstruction of the urbanization process, were put forward in this work. The implementation of these applications will effectively support the decision making for the countries along the belt and road.
