Description
This session highlights how UNGIS is driving digital cooperation for sustainable development through strategic partnerships. Global digital cooperation is essential to ensuring that digital transformation benefits all communities. While UNGIS recognizes that resolving interconnected global challenges requires new formats and modes of cooperation, stronger and broader partnerships, it continues to remain a key platform for the UN system to work together, providing strategic guidance and facilitating coordination among stakeholders to achieve the SDGs and objectives of the WSIS process, as well as the commitments of the Global Digital Compact.
This session will explore the role of digital transformation in addressing global challenges and advancing the SDGs, as well as the objectives of the WSIS process. The session also provides a platform for discussing the ongoing WSIS+20 review, focusing on how digital cooperation can further strengthen global efforts and align with the commitments of the Global Digital Compact, ensuring inclusive growth and sustainable development for all
UNGIS and the WSIS process have long recognized that digital technologies are cross-cutting facilitators and enablers of economic growth and sustainable development.
