IGF 2021 Issue Areas

The IGF 2021 programme content will be based on two baskets: a main focus area basket with two focus areas, and an emerging and cross cutting issue basket with four issue areas. This is intended to enable a more focused IGF (through the main focus areas), while at the same time keeping the IGF open for new and emerging issues and giving participants choice (through the emerging and cross-cutting issues).

The IGF 2021 issue area WIKIs

  • give a discription of the issue area and its sub-themes as defined by the MAG based on the community's input in response to the call for issues.
  • provide an overview of what to expect at IGF 2021 in terms of workskops and other sessions on topics relating to the issue area.

In addition, the IGF 2021 issue area WIKIs are living documents capturing ongoing work on an issue area at the IGF and within the global community. By mapping ongoing work, the wikis intend to foster and facilitate synergies and new avenues for cooperation across initiatives in the lead-up to IGF 2021 and beyond.
