ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and UN Development Programme (UNDP) have pledged support for innovative solutions to accelerate progress on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reports ITREALMS.

The two leading global voices representing diverse sectors of society gathered at SDG Digital: “A Digital Future for All" at United Nations Headquarters showcased digital solutions and announced new commitments to realize a brighter digital future.

Organized by ITU and UNDP, SDG Digital is a cornerstone of ongoing efforts to leverage digital innovation for achieving the SDGs.

"We created SDG Digital to show the world the power of digital," said ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin. “The commitments and solutions on display during the digital track of the UN Summit of the Future Action Days send a powerful message to the world that we will do what's necessary to rescue the SDGs and build a better digital future for all, now and for generations to come."

At SDG Digital, the programme's Advisory Group, with members from government, industry and United Nations agencies, highlighted 17 game-changing digital solutions demonstrating how a more sustainable, inclusive, and responsible future – the vision of a “A Digital Future for All" – can be achieved.

A global survey conducted as part of SDG Digital to expand the conversation beyond the United Nations event reinforced the importance of digital technologies to ensure a sustainable future.
