How Technology can Fast-track the Global Goals

Delivering sustainable economic growth
Oct 06, 2019 | WEF, Sustainable Development Impact Summit, Celine Herweijer, Dominic Kailash Nath Waughray

In this early phase of the digital age, we have a critical opportunity to make decisions and put in place a policy and governance architecture that will have lasting impacts on society. Collaboration and coordination across stakeholder groups is essential. Celine Herweijer and Dominic Kailash Nath Waughray emphasise in this contribution to the WEF Sustainable Development Impact Summit that the world is about to enter a "decade of action", from 2020 to 2030, where ambitions and plans must turn into reality. AI, IoT, and Blockchain solutions will improve efficiency, bring cleaner energy options to global markets, and reduce costs. Traditional policy and market responses will not suffice, especially as society is deeply fractured.
