SDG of the month: Goal 10 The Digital Divide in a COVID-19 World | Events

The COVID-19 pandemic has shone a spotlight on the importance of digital technologies for studying, communicating, trading, shopping, working and participating in much of modern life. However, due to the digital divide, nearly half of the world’s populations have been denied these opportunities during the pandemic, exacerbating global inequalities and providing a barrier to achieving the UN’s goal of reducing inequalities by 2030. To address this growing divide, the UN Commission on Social Development has highlighted the need to understand how digital technologies can be harnessed to support human development in an increasingly digital world. The Global Development Hub brings together an esteemed panel to discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the digital divide and what is being done to address the gap between the under-connected and the highly digitised to help spread the benefits of technology in the new online age.

The growing appetite for green finance

The growing appetite for green finance Bridge to a better tomorrow From the skyscrapers of Singapore to the river deltas of Bangladesh, the Covid-19 pandemic has drawn attention to global inequities, and expanded the gap between the world’s “haves” and “have-nots”. While banks and governments have been exploring green finance for some time, the pandemic has both highlighted the need for a just financial system and drawn attention to a broader issue facing the world: climate change. Put simply, green finance refers to finance that incorporates environmental, social and government regulations into business and investment decisions, driving benefits for society as a whole. It signals a shift from the ends-driven model towards one which values outcomes that are good for the planet and its people.
