The Second Committee of the 78th UN General Assembly held a side event, co-hosted by International Telecommunication Union (ITU), UN Development Programme (UNDP) and UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA).
They held two panels discussing two distinct aspects of a new interpretation of global development: Panel 1. Leveraging digital economies for accelerated sustainable development and Panel 2. Valuing what counts – progress beyond Gross Domestic Product (see full concept note for introductions and guiding questions).
