Agenda

The challenges for building an inclusive, secure, and sustainable digital society are inherently global, because no country can meet them alone. That means we must work together to do everything from mobilizing financing for digital infrastructure in least developed countries to governing artificial intelligence responsibly. Doing so will help us actively work towards closing digital divides and ensuring that the benefits of the digital economy are fairly distributed. But this means cooperation is even more crucial than ever.

The WSIS+20 review made it clear that duplication and uneven participation across global digital governance processes remain significant obstacles. A joint WSIS and Global Digital Compact implementation plan will help push international cooperation efforts to actually build the partnerships, financing mechanisms, and shared accountability frameworks that inclusive digital development truly requires.
