Description

The Global Digital Compact is a comprehensive framework for global governance of digital technology and artificial intelligence. Its adoption in September 2024 paves the way for stronger and more inclusive digital cooperation. The Compact and its implementation are multistakeholder in nature, and its success will also depend on our common ability to leverage partnerships. The Global Digital Compact is open for endorsement. Stakeholders can join this effort and share information on their existing and future efforts to deliver on its objectives. These inputs will be reflected in the implementation map of the Secretary-General in 2025 This session will allow participants to share their expectations for the implementation of the Compact and how they plan to contribute. It will also serve as a platform where stakeholders can express in endorsing the Compact.
