SDGs
9. Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
10. Reduced Inequalities
16. Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
Targets: Our proposal on "Digital Lifelines: Tech for Crisis Alerts Abroad" links to several SDG targets by leveraging digital technologies to enhance crisis response and support. It supports SDG target 9.C by ensuring access to ICTs, which is crucial for disseminating emergency information and providing digital lifelines during crises. Target 10.2 is addressed by promoting social, economic, and political inclusion through digital access and literacy programs, ensuring that all individuals, including those abroad, have equal access to critical information. The session aligns with targets 16.3 and 16.6 by promoting the rule of law and developing effective institutions that ensure access to justice and transparent governance, particularly in the context of emergency response systems. By enhancing digital infrastructure and promoting inclusive emergency alert systems, the proposal contributes to building resilient communities and fostering global cooperation, which are essential for achieving the SDGs. Digital technologies play a pivotal role in safeguarding human well-being during crises, similar to how digital health initiatives like EWARS have been effective in responding to climate-related health emergencies. Overall, the session aims to bridge the digital divide and ensure that citizens abroad are not left behind in emergency situations, aligning with the broader goals of sustainable development and global resilience
