“Digital technology is shaping history. But there is also the sense that it is running
away with us. Where will it take us? Will our dignity and rights be enhanced or
diminished? Will our societies become more equal or less equal? Will we become more, or
less, secure and safe? The answers to these questions depend on our ability to work
together across disciplines and actors, across nations and political divides. We have a
collective responsibility to give direction to these technologies so that we maximize
benefits and curtail unintended consequences and malicious use.”

UNITED NATIONS SECRETARY-GENERAL
ANTÓNIO GUTERRES


INTRODUCTION
The world is shifting from analog to digital faster than ever before, further exposing us
to the vast promise and peril of new technologies. While the digital era has brought
society many incredible benefits, we also face many challenges such as growing digital
divides, cyber threats, and human rights violations online.

This report lays out a roadmap in which all stakeholders play a role in advancing a safer,
more equitable digital world, one which will lead to a brighter and more prosperous future
for all.

8 KEY AREAS FOR ACTION
Based on recommendations from the Secretary-General’s High-level Panel for Digital
Cooperation convened from 2018-2019, and further informed by a series of roundtable
discussions with key stakeholders from Governments, the private sector, civil society,
international organizations, academic institutions, the technical community, and other
relevant stakeholders, the following set of actions are envisaged:

One:
ACHIEVING UNIVERSAL CONNECTIVITY BY 2030

Two:
PROMOTING DIGITAL PUBLIC GOODS TO CREATE A MORE EQUITABLE WORLD
