OECD high-level event: Shaping a Just Digital Transformation

Digital transformation is at a tipping point globally, with the divisions between wealthy and developing nations especially stark. The vast majority (96%) of the world’s unconnected people live in developing countries. Digitalisation can also be used to compromise democracy, freedom of speech and human rights. Global co-operation is required to manage the interconnected risks realise rewards.

The OECD Secretary-General will open a series of panel discussions with policy makers, experts and organisational leaders to discuss how to capitalise on the current opportunity to shape a just digital transformation that supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Paris Climate Agreement and other international aims.
