On 17 September, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and partners convened for SDG Digital at United Nations Headquarters in New York.
Digital technologies are key to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This was the moment – ahead of the 2023 SDG Digital Summit – to take stock of achievements, gaps, and opportunities, catalyse action, and step up digital support for the 2030 Agenda.
