Description
In the GDC outcome, the IGF was positioned as “the primary multi-stakeholder platform for discussion of Internet governance issues,” and the importance of the IGF was reaffirmed. On the other hand, some experts have also pointed out urgent needs such as strengthening inclusiveness and improving the capacity for policy advocacy. Yoichi Iida, who took IGF2023 host country Co-Chair and G7 Digital and Tech WG Chair in the same year of 2023, looks back at the latest discussions on Internet Governance, including the Global Digital Compact, the G20 Digital Economy Track, and the NET Mundial + 10, and discusses with multi-stakeholder speakers what is needed to make the IGF more robust and effective toward WSIS+20 Review.

8. Decent Work and Economic Growth
9. Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
10. Reduced Inequalities
17. Partnerships for the Goals
Targets: Internet is a cornerstone of democracy and enormous digital economy today. But Internet have some challenges such as gap in connectivity, information integrity, Internet shutdowns and network restrictions. Therefore, appropriate multi-stakeholder governance for Internet is essential to address such challenges and realize an open, free, interoperable, reliable and secure Internet based on democratic values. It is also expected that appropriate Internet governance will contribute to the improvement of poverty and inequality (SDGs 1,10), the promotion of inclusive economic growth and innovation (SDGs 8,9), and the realization of sustainable development (SDGs17).
