🌍 Inspiring days at #Almedalenveckan! 🌱 On the UNDP panels, we discussed the Summit of the Future and the Global Digital Pact.
Despite progress, the world is off track in meeting its #SDGs, facing inequalities, conflicts, and climate challenges. The Summit is a unique chance to renew trust and build global solidarity. Honored to speak alongside former UN Deputy Secretary General Jan Eliasson.
The Global Digital Compact aims for an open, free, and secure digital future. This is an important step towards digital inclusion as UN data (2023) shows digital divides are widening: from 1B online in 2002 to 5.3B now, but gaps remain. While 89% of Europeans are online, only 21% in low-income countries are connected. Wealth from digital innovations is highly unequal.
Thank you, Almedalen, for the opportunity to join these urgent conversations ! 🌍💡
