A Digital Rescue for the SDGs: Meeting of UN leaders in Geneva

​​Leaders of United Nations agencies based in Geneva gathered at ITU headquarters to discuss a “digital rescue" for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), first adopted in 2015 and aimed at overcoming key global development challenges by 2030. Secretary-General Bogdan-Martin said she was encouraged to see the UN system prioritizing meaningful connectivity and digital solutions to catalyze progress on the SDGs, also known as the UN's Global Goals. Digital cooperation can strengthen global efforts by connecting the dots between different UN entities and mandates, towards a common goal – Agenda 2030, she added. ​​
