Human-centered connectivity at the United Nations H.E. Mr. Volkan Bozkir, President of the UN General Assembly, organized the UN’s first-ever High-Level Thematic Debate on Connectivity and Digital Cooperation. My topline conclusions from yesterday’s event are: The human costs of the digital divide must be addressed as we build back from the pandemic, and Stakeholders from governments, private sector, international organizations and civil society need to work together to end the digital divide by 2030. More than 70 nations spoke out on the theme Whole-of-Society Approaches to End the Digital Divide. Connecting people with the internet has new urgency and commitment around the world.
