The document discusses the United Nations Secretary-General's proposal for a Global Digital Compact (GDC) to be agreed upon at the Summit of the Future in 2024. It outlines the seven thematic areas that will be addressed through consultations with member states and stakeholders from January to June 2023. These include digital inclusion, internet governance, data protection, human rights online, digital trust and security, artificial intelligence, and digital commons. Regional consultations will take place in India, Mexico, and Kenya to inform the process. The document advocates for Bangladesh voices to engage and contribute to establishing principles for inclusive and sustainable digital governance through the GDC and UN Summit for the Future.
UNGIS Joint Statement on the Post-2015 Development AgendaDr Lendy Spires
Joint Statement United Nations Group on the Information Society (UNGIS) on the Post-2015 Development Agenda May 2013 Geneva In keeping with its mandate to promote policy coherence and programme coordination in the UN system, as well as provide guidance on issues related to inclusive Knowledge Societies and especially on information and communications technologies (ICTs) in support of internationally agreed development goals, the 30 members of the UN Group on the Information Society (UNGIS) respectfully submit this joint statement to the UN Secretary General and the UN Task Team.
The statement is a collective contribution to the dialogue on the Post-2015 Development Agenda, a unified effort to harness inter-agency expertise and experience to support deliberations on Post-2015 priorities, and a united commitment to a UN community poised to address development challenges in the 21st century. 1. When the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were established in 2000, the international community was only beginning to understand the catalytic potential of ICTs to advance development agendas and priorities. One of the targets under Goal 8 calls for making the benefits of technologies, particularly ICTs, available to all.
Two years before the deadline for achieving the MDGs, Target 18 seems achievable by 2015 when it comes to access to mobile services. However, the potential of ICTs as key enablers for inclusive development have yet to be fully acknowledged, harnessed and specifically linked to the achievement of all other MDG targets. 2. In 2003 and 2005, at the two phases of the World Summit of the Information Society (WSIS), the international community agreed on a set of commitments that recognize ICTs as enablers for development. World leaders representing Governments, civil society, private sector and the technical community set out a strategic framework for their deployment and use with the engagement of and in partnership with multi-sectoral stakeholders.
This framework captures the potential of ICTs in enhancing access, especially of vulnerable populations, to education, health care and other public services, to information, finance and knowledge, and the role of ICTs for the protecting the environment, for mitigating natural disaster risks, ensuring sustainable use of natural resources and sustainable food production and for women’s empowerment. This is in line with the internationally-agreed development goals in general and with environmental protection and the sustainable use of natural resources in particular, as mentioned in both the Rio Principles and Agenda 21

Digital and Green Transformation for Developing Economies.docxDr. Monideep Dey
Recently, several international development organizations and civil society have focused their efforts to assist developing economies in a green and digital transformation. A green transformation is necessary to address Climate Action (SDG 13). Digital transformation has been identified as key to development and to addresses several SDGs. Sustainability concepts are to be a fundamental part of the digital transformation. It is recognized that it is essential to ensure the new technologies in the digital, biological and physical worlds are adopted to remain human-centered and serve society and the planet as a whole for the prosperity of all. Society can thus promote economic development and solve social problems simultaneously. This paper discusses the elements of a green and digital transformation, initiatives currently underway by international development organizations, civil society and developing economies, and progress to date toward the common goals established in the SDGs.

UNESCO’S INTERNET UNIVERSALITY INDICATORS: A Framework for Assessing Internet...Fola Odufuwa
The Internet has developed rapidly into a communications medium which continues to transform access to information, opportunities for expression, and many aspects of government and business for people around the world. It has become a global marketplace for ideas, goods and services. It has both facilitated the enjoyment of human rights and raised new risks. Among the challenges that need to be addressed if the benefits of the Internet are to be universally available, are digital divides between developed, developing and least developed countries, between urban and rural areas within countries, between people with higher and lower incomes and higher and lower levels of educational experience and attainment, and between women and men. Opportunities and risks will continue to become more complex, more powerful and more influential on the future as a result of the Internet’s technology, services and markets are in constant change.
Understanding and assessing the complexity of the Internet’s development, and its impact is crucial if we are to effectively address the Internet for optimum contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNESCO has long engaged with this agenda, emphasising the Internet’s potential for developing Knowledge Societies, based on freedom of expression, universal access to information and knowledge, respect for cultural and linguistic diversity, and quality education for all. For example, the Organisation played a prominent part in the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS, 2003 and 2005) and has continued to play an important role in Internet Governance Forum (IGF), the Broadband Commission on Sustainable Development and other fora concerning the Internet and its impact. As the Internet has continued evolving, so UNESCO has developed the concept of Internet Universality in order to help comprehend the developments

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

areas identified in Our Common Agenda and additional areas that
stakeholders advocate for inclusion in the GDC:
• Connect all people to the internet, including all schools
• Avoid internet fragmentation
• Protect data
• Apply human rights online
• Accountability for discrimination and misleading
content
• Regulation of artificial intelligence

13. Why Engage in the Process:
The GDC is an opportunity for government & civil society and multi-stakeholder to
contribute to establishing agreed principles for digital governance that support
human rights, social justice and sustainable development and that can form the
basis of a longer-term framework for accountable and inclusive internet
governance – and broader digital governance. `
The GDC is also an opportunity to reinterpret the World Summit on the
Information Society (WSIS) vision to respond to the constantly changing digital
society that we live in today.
It could also play a key role in ensuring that the lessons learned from years of
multistakeholder cooperation feed into future processes of internet policy, internet
governance and global digital cooperation and in setting parameters for
safeguarding multistakeholderism, transparency, inclusivity, dialogue and
accountability.
Stakeholders, including civil society groups and individuals, can develop inputs
based on a long-term vision for what we want the internet to be, and what we do
not want it to be – and more broadly, for digitalisation and its relationship to
sustainable development and environmental sustainability.
We can work hard to see priorities reflected in the final product by consulting
widely, and deeply, and collaborating extensively, including reaching out to other
stakeholder groups. The GDC has the potential to frame digital debate at the
global level in upcoming years, so it is urgent that the public has a seat at the
table and proposes carefully tailored and targeted recommendations in relation to
key policy themes.
